To my girls Amanda and Colleen,

So much our family has gone thru, this is the most trying time of all. Your dad is struggling to come to terms with himself. Even after all these years he still is not able to accept what has happened after his accident. He is not the same person that you both knew as your dad. He is not even the same person that I have known for 38 years of my life. I want so much for all of our life to be the one we remember but that can't happen so I just go on and try to deal with what I can day by day. I pray every day that we all can at least have some sort of normalcy. I hope that some day you will both understand  your dad as he is now. Even with all that he is going thru he talks about you girls and misses you both, he also asks about all of his grandkids and wishes that he could get to know them. Keep dad in your heart and remember the good times that you had with him. And pray for him and love him for who he is now just as he loves you for who you are.
