Monday and my week started off great with my daughter texting me from University "I miss you dad, have a great week at school. Love you, Haley." I smiled with warmth and appreciation when reading it and I texted back: "You made my day Haley! Love you too, Kick ass at Acadia." It was a simple note from her that made a huge impact on my day.
I've been following Ironman Triathlons since 1993 and competed in four since that time with support of family and friends. There are always wonderful story lines to follow and this is one of the most memorable and emotional ones I have seen. I urge you to take a few minutes out of your day to watch this heart-wrenching and inspirational story. Afterward, take time to hug your wife and kids and tell them you love them, call your parents and do the same and say thank you for all that they have done for you, or contact a friend, old coach or teacher and thank them for being a positive influence on you and your life...it will make a huge impact on them as well. Don't take anything for granted, thank you.
