Dad


i love this man

we love this man

there was a pause
in time yesterday
when we heard he had
been hit by a truck
while doing what he
loves the most...biking

it took awhile until
we found out he was
in fact still alive

i do not wish those
moments of fear
on anyone

but when we found out
that he was in fact
alive, nothing else
seemed to matter

he has a long road of recovery
but my kids still have the best
grandpa ever, and i still have my dad

it is so hard to be so far
away in moments like these

life is so short

kiss the ones you love
hug them even tighter

i know i will

i LOVE you dad!!!

Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad! Sadness. I hope he makes a full and quick recovery. So scary.

We are VERY glad that dad is ok. We are both too young to lose our daddy =)

Did you realize that jersey he is wearing in that picture is the one that he was wearing when he was hit? It was one he really liked and he was mad they cut it off of him. That's dad for you!
