How can somebody express gratitude in words and still really get a point across? I honestly believe it's not easy. I guess I would like to try. I don't consider myself anything special. Just another guy trying to do my best with what I have. The thing is, every so often I am reminded how lucky I really am. As you know if you are reading this, over the last couple months I took on a campaign to raise money for the March Of Dimes to help preemie and sick babies. I have started doing this in remembrance of my son Connor Michael who passed away when he was only 2 weeks old after being born at just 24 weeks. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him and what could have been. I love that little baby, my son, so much and I am so grateful for the 2 weeks I had with him, as short as it was. Now that I am back in Colorado, I don't get to go visit him (his grave) and talk with him like I used too and that is very tough for me. This campaign was a way for me to connect with him and feel like I am doing my part so that maybe another parent somewhere will get a better shot at having a little one who is born too soon have a chance to stick around a little longer. So here is the deal. You, my family and friends, continue to show me how amazing people can be and a bunch of you proved it once again. Whether it was donating money, writing me a personal message to let me know you support me, coming to the actual walk, or simply being available to talk during a rough day, I have never felt more supported than I do now. I even had two friends who were not able to be here with us in Colorado to walk, go and clean Connor's marker by hand and put fresh flowers for him back in Las Vegas.
These are all things that blow my mind. Thank you guys. Seriously. Life is too short for bullshit. Take the moments life gives you and run with them. You never know how little time they may last. Be grateful for who you have. Children, family, friends, or whatever. I assure you somebody else that you know personally is not as lucky. It's easy to focus on the negative. Trust me, I know. Just do your best not to let life bring you down. Lucky for me I have Keira. She is my sunshine every morning that motivates me to do well. To keep on keepin on. Find your sunshine. I like to believe we all have some somewhere.
