4 Years

4 Years ago today my dad fell 20 ft inevitably changing our lives. Sometimes I think it was for the better other times, not so much. We've gone through surgeries, depression and now a legal battle with worker's comp. I wrote last year about how depressed I was and how 30 seconds changed our lives forever but today I don't feel the same. Yes I still look back on the accident and cry to myself on occasion but I know in my heart things will only get better. We can make them better.

Dad quit today. Its been a big relief for him and the family but at the same time it adds a new stress. No job, no money, especially while Worker Comp is still trying to make us jump through hoops. We're done jumping. We won't settle for less then perm/total. We have a great lawyer on our side who is not worried at all which makes our nerves relax. Our court date is in January.

Yes, I feel depressed to some degree today but not as much as past years. I feel that we're reaching the end and Dad will get better soon. I love my dad and my family. Its tragic what happened to us but its a blessing we still have each other.
