My dad, Glen, is woven through so much of who I am today.

Losing him changed me in ways I don’t think I’ll ever completely be able to explain.

But grief also taught me something unexpected:

Legacy isn’t just what someone leaves behind when they’re gone.

It’s what they planted in people while they were here.

It’s the lessons you still hear in your head.

The stories you keep telling.

The things you do differently because you knew them.

And the love that somehow continues to shape your life years later.

Built With Purpose carries pieces of that journey.

It’s one of the reasons this book means so much more to me than simply seeing my name on a cover.

It’s proof that love can keep building things long after goodbye. 🤍
