iLuvMyTrucker: Charles Kelley

Aug 16, 2013

My husband has been my best friend for the past 13 years, and we have been married for 7 years this month. I had a 5 year old daughter from a previous relationship. Her father passed away when she was 2 years old. Chuck took both of us as a package deal. He couldn’t have been a better dad if he was her biological father. We both think the world of him. Life would be very boring without him.
