“I could not believe it. I was sobbing and couldn’t believe this was real life.”
“I said the hardest word I’ve ever had to say: okay. As they stopped compressions and the beeping slowed to a stop, I sang, ‘You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.’ I knew I had to do something. I refused to let her light stop shining.”
“That’s when the lady broke heart-wrenching news to my wife.”
“‘Sure baby, I’ll pick you up after school.’ My daughter’s sinus infection was anything but.”
“My son was invited to a fellow kindergartner’s birthday – our first invite living in a new area, where I know NO ONE. I was pretty nervous, okay?”
“I was sure I was having a heart attack. They asked me if something had stressed me. I said, ‘no, I was preparing dinner.'”
“Your daughter more than loves her mother; she is enthralled with her. Mothers and their daughters tend to live a parallel life. Your relationship with your wife is about SO much more than just you and her.”
“I used to care what others thought. But I know now, none of that matters at all.”
“I was usually good at hiding my bruises, but one day I didn’t do a very good job. ‘How did this happen?!’ my teacher asked. I told her it was from carrying firewood. Minutes after I got home, there was a man in a tan suit at my door. CPS. The beginning of my journey across 40 foster homes. I feel so lucky to have beaten the odds. Not for me, but for my sons. I’d go through my childhood 1,000 times if it meant my sons didn’t have to.”
“I can’t let you leave with that blood pressure reading.’ Her statement was so unexpected. It was too early. I had too much to do before the boys were born.”
