This year I’m happy to share with you our 2014 Single Parent Giveaway winner, Travis and his girls, Chloe and Kendle. I am so looking forward to our session! Travis has a very sweet co-worker that took the time to write in on his behalf. Thanks Traci!
“Travis and I met each other only a year ago, but we quickly became good friends. Behind the quiet ex-body builder exterior is a sweet soul who loves God and his girls more than anything! He loves to laugh, has the greatest smile and a real fondness for superheroes…especially Captain America. When he married his wife, as with most folks, he never dreamed where their life would take them and the harshness of some of the things they would endure. Last year, their marriage ended and Travis became the single parent for Choloe (now 10) and Kendle (now 8).
Chloe and Kendle could not be better girls. They are super polite and always smiling! Travis has definitely taught them well in all aspects of their life. They are both involved in dance and Travis never hesitates to be by their side and be their supporter through it all! He has learned to do hair and make-up for dance competitions and performances like a professional and I am sure he puts some moms to shame! He comes to the office telling me about interesting phenomena’s such as hair chalk (that a mother of little boys is strangely ignorant about) and being late out the door because Chloe decided to paint her toenails instead of putting her shoes on. He is super proud to be their dad (and in lots of ways their mom) and isn’t at all embarrassed to let anyone know that he would do anything for his little girls, including facials and fingernail polish. His desk shows it as he proudly displays all their works of art and snapshots of them. Travis also loves God and so do his girls. And although at times he (like all of us) questions ‘why’ God would allow them to walk this road, he does see how God has grown them in the process.
Travis is not only a single parent, but he is also an only child. His parents do a wonderful job of helping when they can, but Travis bears most of the weight of being a single parent on his own. When the girls are sick, have dentist appointments, etc., Travis juggles all that mixed in with work. When school closes due to weather, Travis comes to work with his precious girls following along in his footsteps.”
