Brain injuries are truly transforming, I just saw it firsthand when in California. I don't want to go into detail about here but it's not something you can pretend doesn't exist. The reality is, it can change a person dramatically. I'm sorry it happened to your dad. Hugs for you, my sweet.Girl In Motionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12845071620369547052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-3559976274116683152012-07-24T16:13:28.845-05:002012-07-24T16:13:28.845-05:00What a very touching post.

He's very lucky to have a daughter like you!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265175590096078175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-30664191586650353482012-07-20T20:20:22.759-05:002012-07-20T20:20:22.759-05:00Sorry dude, for someone who is as tough as nails y...Sorry dude, for someone who is as tough as nails you really wear your heart on your sleeve too, I find it a very humbling combination.

I am so sorry for your loss- and I understand there is so much good, but you know what I mean.

You have lost parts of him in so many ways and you most definitely deserve to grieve that! this must be so very painful to know what you once had together and for things to know be so different. So glad I got to your blog today. xoAmanda@runninghoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389034066639666578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-19391449208767109682012-07-19T12:18:34.608-05:002012-07-19T12:18:34.608-05:00I could say so much about this post-

Any number of things can always go wrong, as Amanda and I were discussing recently on my first "real" trail run (the kind where you could be miles away from your car and end up with the sun going down before you find it).<br /><br /> I don't think you should feel guilty about missing your dad- he's not as you remembered him and that IS hard. You have a good idea there to take him to share some experiences, ones he will enjoy and you can look back over later as well. I am sure he is BLESSED to have you as a daughter.Rainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118022681297462844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-61106071142529630832012-07-18T16:15:06.698-05:002012-07-18T16:15:06.698-05:00Thanks for sharing.

I hope your dad enjoys the new memory this weekend.Scott McMurtreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05879663957608177567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222151866215168851.post-77067115831117704232012-07-18T15:09:12.221-05:002012-07-18T15:09:12.221-05:00Big hugs my friend!

The fact that you are blessed that he is still with you does not take away from how hard/sad/heartbreaking it is that he isn't the same and your relationship isn't the same. I hope this weekend is a wonderful experience for you and your parents. I will be cheering you on from here!!<br /><br />In regards to cheerleaders - YES. I can't tell you how often I wish I had someone to run with or train with. This morning when I hit the track on my own I kept thinking how much more fun it would be to have someone else out there running, even if we weren't truly running "together". I think that's why I love the online running community so much. Virtual cheerleaders are better than no cheerleaders. :)<br /><br />And again - i think you are a super awesome coach. :)SupermomE13https://www.blogger.com/profile/11305105357197956694noreply@blogger.com
