my dad

my dad is the most determined person i know. his emotional, mental, and physical strength are a force to be reckoned with, he might be short, but he is the most fierce human i know.  there is not a doubt in my mind that he is going to kick this unfortunate/surreal bike vs car accident in the ass and come back even more enthusiastic, and even more inlove with life than ever. watching him go through a hard time like this is so painful for me, but he is battling it, and I know that no one will give up on him, and he wont give up on us.

He has so much love, respect, and good thoughts coming from so many people from all around the community and the WORLD. he is an amazing person, and i'm so lucky that i get half my genes from him :)

i love you infinitely, dad!

numb

sometimes life can be absolutely cruel and devastating. and its surreal and numbs you.

and in the face of these hard times is when the goodness of the people around you shines through; and when you realize how important your friends and family are; and when you are humbled and greatful for every tiny thing you have.

in these times i am completely blown away by my mom's strength. she is super human. the most dedicated, and strong being i have ever seen. I can only hope to be a fraction of how gloriously wise, patient and strong she is when i am older.
