The Story Behind "The Robin":
Every morning we look for the first robin. It's a game we play. It’s bragging rights. Most importantly it's how our family stays connected across the miles of road separating us. It can be quite heated. Each one of us trying to catch a glimpse of the first robin on our morning commute, and other times the game falls silent as we wait through winter seasons and busy schedules. It may seem a trivial thing, but in 2014 I learned the real significance of the first robin.

It started with a phone call: “It’s your Mom. It’s cancer.” Then a confusing and exhausting way of life falls out in front of you. One of waiting and wondering on what will happen next. And every morning a text from your father letting you know mom spotted the first robin outside her hospital window, and that every morning there was always hope - despite how dark the night before may have been. This was when calling the first robin of the day was no longer a game. The robin became hope, faith, goodness and connecting with people we loved. Now, even though our family is one less and life can still fall out in front of you in waiting and wondering, we all still look for a chance to call the first robin.
