Welcome everyone, to my first of hopefully many blogs! The emotional and mental grief brought on by the loss of my children, I put on myself. Because me as the man, the husband, and the father, I could not change the outcome. I was brought up like most men in the belief that I am to be the“rock”,the problem solver, and the guardian of my family. Unfortunately, I have learned a hard lesson. Whether it is an act of God or that everything happens for a reason (whatever phrase strikes closer to home) for me I am not all-powerful. The John Wayne mentality I grew up on only brought me to my knees. Then I realized that many things are out of my control.
The recent event my wife and I had for the foundation on August 25, 2012, and it coinciding with our story being published in the Philadelphia Inquirer on September 9, 2012, has given me a renewed faith. I realized only God can be God, and everything does happen for a reason. I can now be there for my wife in whatever role is needed, as long as it is humanly possible. I am positive I can help others heal with our story and my words of encouragement.
Here is the link to our story published in the Inquirer and our
