COACH TRACI
Some people don’t do the work for you —
they walk beside you while you do it.
That’s Coach Traci.
She didn’t carry me.
She helped me see I could carry myself.
Through the hard moments, the doubt, the rebuilding—
she stayed steady.
Grateful for the ones who remind you
you were always capable.
COLLEEN
There are people who come into your life
and make it feel lighter.
Colleen is that kind of person.
She showed up in the quiet ways—
with presence, with calm, with heart.
Not fixing. Not forcing.
Just being there.
And sometimes… that’s everything.
MOM VAL
Through everything, she’s been there.
Not to take the weight from me—
but to stand close while I carried it.
She believes in me
even on the days I forget how.
A steady kind of love.
The kind that doesn’t leave.
