Granger Smith posted a picture of his son Linc on his shoulders at a car race on Instagram today.

Granger wrote, "We’ve had some life adventures this summer, me and Linc. I like to think he’s learned a lot from me, but I’ve sure learned a lot from him too."

The post is the first that hasn't talked about the June drowning death of his son River. Smith has been quite active in sharing stories, pictures and his deepest thoughts on losing his three-year-old son in the last few months.

This was his last post on June 19th about the tragedy of losing his son River, where he said in part, "The finality and mortality brought on by death makes life feel fragile. It can weaken, terrify and separate those close to it. But it can also awaken us. It can remind us never to take a moment with those we love for granted."

She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
