"broken heart beats"

Being a stepparent means loving through wounds you did not create. It means learning that when you fail or say the wrong thing, you may touch places that were already hurting.

This song is for my kids—because they loved me like their dad, and gave me the gift of loving them like they had always been mine.

“Something about his voice is ethereal with raw honesty.”

— Charlotte Ivol, Texas Rebel Radio
