Usually with these blogs (that I seem to write every year on December 15) I am very nostalgic and depressed. However, this year I would rather discuss the better things.
In 2005 Dad suffered an industrial accident. He fell 20 ft off of a scaffolding at work. Since, he's had a surgery on his right side, gained a bit of weight, has needed oxygen 24/7, and has been considerably less active than before. However, this year he's made a turn around. He's lost about 20-25 lbs and has been going to physical rehab almost on a daily basis while also taking me to work and my nephew to school, he's quit working to improve his health, and has made many realizations about the help he needs. He may not be functioning the way he did 5 years ago but he is better (in my opinion) than he has been the past several. I love my dad very much. He is true inspiration to me. I know how hard some things are on him and I know he struggles but while those things are difficult to get through he still gets through them. He continues to plug away at the things that need improvement. Good job Dad! I love you :)
