For Jade & Brett

I built this collection from the movies that filled our home with laughter, fun, comfort, and memories. These movies are more than just a collection. It is a collection of our time together.

When you were little, Mondays belonged to you guys (well, all days did) but remember MonJade and MonBrett? Whoever’s night it was got to call the shots: the movie, the snacks, and the evening’s grand plans. We turned kitchen chairs and blankets into forts, settled in together, and made ordinary Mondays feel important.

I raised you on my own, but the truth is, you helped raise me too. I leaned on you more than you probably ever knew. During the hardest seasons of my life, you gave me a reason to keep going. Being your dad has been the greatest privilege of my life, and loving you has been the easiest thing I have ever done.

You are grown now, but part of me will always be back under that blanket fort, waiting for the movie to begin or telling you a Puddin story.

Love you both so much!
Dad
