Frozen Cookie Dough |
In April of 1994, Dan & I were married and #TeamCook was established. We had three daughters, Lindsey, Brittney and Cailin. Our life was like many young families, consumed with dance classes, girl scouts and sports. We loved being an all girl family and Dan adored his girls. We faced many challenges over the years but faith has always been the foundation of our family. Facing life's challenges can weaken a family or make it stronger. For us, each challenge we faced individually or as a family, we chose to face it together. Dan started referring to us as “Team Cook” when the girls were young. We had no idea at the time, but the nickname “Team Cook” would represent more than just a cute name. Laughter has been an integral part of our home. Many times, it was the silliness of Dan that had our family crying tears from laughing so hard. In November of 2021, Dan passed away unexpectedly. Lindsey, Brittney, Cailin, Clayton (Lindsey’s Husband) and myself were by his side as he took his last breath. Throughout his time in the hospital, we leaned into our faith and the support of our friends, family and community. The pain of his loss has been devastating. In our own ways, each of us has tried to make sense of losing him. Dan was a big personality and was loved by so many people. He was the life of the party, and made each day fun. Dan has been gone now for almost three years and we want to make him proud. He was our biggest supporter, cheerleader, and always had big dreams. Although he is not here with us, we still have a lot to accomplish. It is in his memory and for him, that we make him proud. He loved when I would bake and he had many favorite things but my cookies topped the list of his favorites. He always told me I needed to do something with my baked goods but the time just never seemed right...until now. We love and miss Dan everyday. The girls and I had a choice to make when we lost him: We could let the grief smother us or we could lean into it and try to create something together; in his honor. We chose option B! When |
