Check out this one. As a parent, you will be spellbound. I read the entire thing the other night and am now hooked.

I love how he throws in current pictures within his daily entries. He has an outstanding eye.

I simply admire how he's coping. What an amazing dad. You just never know what life will throw your way.

I can't read that. Page 1 and I'm in tears already. The hardest day of my life was when I got the call that my first wife had passed. I was on a job and I fell right to my knees. I was waiting for the right moment to sit my 14 year old daughter, and 8 year old son down to tell them their mom was not coming home from the hospital, and they needed to say good by.
She passed before I made the time, and all I could say is it's a crappy deal but we need to live with it and make her proud. My daughter knew, but my son had no idea that she was dieing.
My daughter was class president. Two weeks ago my son pulled a legless comrad out of a burning hum v in Tacreat Iraq. Their mom would be proud.

Understandable for you Dana. I'm sorry to bring that on to you to have to yet again endure. Someone else also said the same thing to me, they just couldn't read it.

But if you can break through the first entry, the dad is amazing. He rarely goes into his sorrow. His daughter is keeping him occupied to the hilt for him to fall too low. For now anyway.

Jeez Donna, That was brutal but yes, also uplifting.

My daughter Samantha was a premmie too and looked EXACTLY like that baby. Weird...

Seems like that guy is doing an amazing job. I can't imagine. My greatest fear has always been something happening to me and leaving them. Would they survive? Of course but not without the pain.

Donna,
Thanks for that one...I think...
Tore my a** up reading that... and scrolling through the pages that followed.
Very hard to explain to the dental assistant here at my new job why I'm sitting at the puter with tears running down my cheeks. Silly old fart.
How I feel for that whole family. What a tragedy...

May peace be with you Dana, and your children and may the memories of the dear mother of your children be sweet and serene, as that is what she would have wanted. She would have been so proud of your son and daughter too, I know.

When I read it, it hit me hard, as I don't let so much in sometimes, but this I did. At least a little bit just to connect with them.
Thanks Donna for a little bit of reality and to get my lame brain off my problems, which are very little, and puts things into perspective in my life, how fortunate I am.
Bless that family.

Did you ever think an internet blog could pull your heartstrings and come right into your home and heart like that? Wow.
