They weren’t supposed to be mine — but God placed them in my care 🙏, and I chose to stay.

My name is Ethan Caldwell.
The twins are Noah and Lily 👶👶.
They were born the very day I lost my sister 💔 — when grief and responsibility arrived together.

I didn’t understand God’s plan.
I just knew He was asking me to show up.
So I did.

Late-night bottles 🍼
Early prayers 🙏
School mornings 📚
Scraped knees 🩹

They called me “Uncle Dad” 🤍
Some people judged my past, my tattoos, my rough hands.
But God never questioned my heart ✨

I didn’t have all the answers.
I just stayed — on the hard days, the tired days, the days when love was the only thing I had left.

Today, Noah serves others as a doctor 🩺
And Lily protects others as a police officer 👮‍♀️

I didn’t raise perfect children.
I raised them with love, patience, and faith 💛
