The day I met Todd and Kelly they told me an inspiring story about their relationship. They told me the need to be married on paper was irrelevant because they can say they make a choice to be together every single day. And I had the pleasure of watching them make that choice every single day for the past 2.5 years that I have known them. Not only did I did get to see Todd's daily admiration for Kelly, but I also got to see his love for all 3 of his children. No matter what he had going on he made it a point to call Kaitlyn and Ryder at the same time each day. I have personally watched him stop everything he was doing (including a hectic work day) to make that phone call and give his children his undivided attention. I have also watched him get all ready for a date with Kelly, and then abruptly change out of his clothes to give Nikolai a bath after an intense baby explosion. Even though I was there to help, Todd's dad alarm went off.

Todd's passion for his family has and will always inspire and amaze me. Our hearts go out to the Day/Leach family during this time.
