Still Standing, Still Growing: Presence Over Rank

From poolside conversations and campfire dinners to RV mishaps, slow dances under Texas skies, and handwritten memories under the palms of Port Isabel, this is the story of a man and a woman—of second

chances, quiet strength, and the kind of love that asks nothing but gives everything.

Itʼs a tribute to Melody—the woman who didnʼt just come along, but believed in the dream, the writer, and the road ahead. A love story for anyone whoʼs ever chased the sun, found peace in small places, or learned that the best journeys are the ones you take side by side.

Through hard-won truths and quiet revelations, Thorn explores themes of fatherhood, forgiveness, regret, resilience, and the healing power of presence. These are not just stories—they’re offerings. Each chapter invites you to slow down, to feel deeply, and to rediscover what truly matters.

Whether you’re searching for peace in grief, clarity in chaos, or hope in the aftermath of mistakes, this book will meet you where you are—and gently remind you that becoming never ends.

If you’ve ever longed to hear the words someone never got to say, What I Hope You Remember is the book that says them—for you, and with you.
