Our Mission
We are 100% devoted to supporting those who serve
The love between a parent and their child is sacred and unbreakable. This is especially true for our military and first-responder brothers and sisters. When every moment might be the last, we hug just a bit tighter, we laugh a bit louder, and we try to fill each day with the love to last a lifetime. Sadly, some of us do not get that full lifetime.
For this reason, we are dedicating 100% of the profits from this book to “Gold Star Children” - those who lost a parent to war.
Thank you for your love and support.
Our Story
On Memorial Day of 2018, I took my boys down to the West Point cemetery for the first time, wanting to see my fallen friends and classmates from the USMA class of 2009. It was also to teach my kids about the reason for the holiday - it's not all hotdogs and pool parties, ya know.
But as we approached my friends’ graves, I was startled by how much it affected me, even years after their death. Walking home, the kids went to work trying to cheer me up by explaining how much they loved me - more than smelly socks, more than dinosaur farts, etc. (Gotta love kids, right?!)
That night, inspired by the purity of my boys’ love and laughter, I wrote a poem to honor my friends who never got the chance to giggle with their children. That poem would later grow into the book you see before you.
Thanks to your generous support, exactly two years later the “I Love You More” team hit a major milestone by donating $2009 to Gold-Star kids. We look forward to continuing to give back with your support!
Thank you and God bless.
