Every year since my father and husband passed away, we all struggle just a little bit to figure out ways to continue to celebrate them on Father’s Day. As the years move on (12 years now), the kids and I are starting to laugh again at the memories of my father –

Always choosing the seats up front at St. Matthews church for midnight mass (us stumbling in after drinking way too much Christmas Eve Wine and my Dad standing up and waving at us –“Over here, I saved you all seats!” and us dying…)

This is more than a transition; it’s a celebration of legacy and empowerment. the spirit and values that have shaped LOLA, and we will continue to grow and innovate.

If 2021 taught me anything, it was to learn to love myself and the world.
