Kate Merrick

Kate Merrick is a writer, speaker, pastor's wife, mama of a teenager and toddler, surfer, part-time cowgirl, and self-proclaimed chicken whisperer. She is married to Britt Merrick and they live in Carpinteria, California, where they founded the Reality family of churches. In 2013 she endured the death of her daughter, Daisy Love, after suffering through cancer treatment for three and a half years. Kate is making her way back toward laughter and is finding life to be filled with good things. More than a million followed Daisy's journey and fight for life on PrayForDaisy.com, where you can read old posts, watch Daisy's memorial, and get to know the Merrick family. After Daisy's passing, Kate was silent for three years in grief and contemplation. She now blogs at KMerrick.com with fresh perspective and newfound freedom to be sentimental or silly or anywhere in between.
