Hello, this is Dakota from I’ll Walk With You. It is my honor to introduce to you our guests for this episode, Colleen and Gregory Butler. We have known the Butlers for over 15 years now, and we have always been impressed by them and their beautiful family.

Colleen and Greg are an interracial couple, married for 46 years, parents to 4 beautiful children, and grandparents to 11 grandchildren with one on the way and 3 great grand also with one on the way.

Retired social workers, both Colleen and Greg have a vibrant passion for helping others, and making a change wherever they find themselves. They both have incredible stories about the impact that their work has had on their own lives as well as the lives of others.

Their story together is one of great love, mutual respect, compassion, and incredible resilience. It is beautiful to hear their perspective on what is truly important in life, and to see their view and love of people, and how they have learned to accept others and to not live in fear, but in love.

I found their story inspiring in many ways, but one of the greatest impressions left on me was how they have faced some great trials, yet when asked about them, they are talked about nearly as non-issues, a clear indicator to me that they have individually and as companions chosen to rise above those challenges and to not dwell upon them.

Colleen and Greg are beautiful people, and I am so incredibly pleased to have had them on the podcast as guests, and I am even more delighted to have them as members of my community. Speaking with them has strengthened my hope for a better future , and has displayed a wonderful example of how we can be more unified in a world where division happens so easily.

I know that you will love them as much as we do. Thank you so much for joining us today.
