LeAnn Rimes Instagram – goodbye, ted. rest well! your joy and childlike heart will forever be ingrained on mine. you encouraged me to be nothing but a kid when i had the whole world of adult expectations on my shoulders. you gave me a space to play and be loved in the fullness of my being and for that, i am forever grateful. i won the lottery when it came to stepdads!!! i love you… forever! all ted wanted was for silent night by mannheim steamroller to be played in his honor. join me in playing it tonight. he would be thrilled! he loved christmas 🎄 as much as me!!
