And in the one he wrote me this morning he says, ‘I think we should be proud of what we\u2019ve built. I love you and I love our life,’ ” Ali captioned the post.<\/p>\n She continued, reflecting: “His words really resonated with me. I think in the day-to-day, it\u2019s so easy to get lost in the routines and the mundane parts of life. Sometimes the big picture just fades into the background. But this reminded me how important it is to step back and actually look at what we\u2019ve built.”<\/p>\n Ali and Kevin Manno.
