Very early this Sunday morning I sat down at my computer with my cup of coffee. As I logged into Facebook I was met with this image.
As many of you know, Mike was almost dead. A few times. That is not putting it lightly. There is just no way around it. He survived an aortic dissection, septicemia, a coma, organ failure´S´, he has lost his fingers and his feet. But I think you would find it hard to argue his survival and COMEBACK are anything less than a miracle….as well as a testament to his incredible will.
When I saw this image I smiled and cried because Mike looks like Mike again. I also cried because J gets to have his daddy home again. I posted a video on Sunday. It was specifically dedicated to three people I love that suffer from depression. But when I ran I thought so much of Mike, his battle and his challenges ahead that it just doesn´t seem right for me to wear my medal. I hope he will accept it, as he deserves it so much more than I do. I love you friend. YOU are an inspiration. God bless you and your gorgeous family.
