My Dad Dreams BIG

My dad has been admitted into the ER 3 times within the last week due to side effects from healing from his open heart surgery and dealing with diabetes. But I just got off the phone with him and he is in high spirits and optimistic towards his goal to one day receive his match to qualify for his kidney transplant. He says "I'm just paying for the good times I had earlier."

I feel my dad has has always had a great sense of humor and a good head on his shoulders and even when his head is not on his shoulders he is always making sure that he is dreaming BIG. And boy does he dream BIG! I have always admired my father for his dreams because no matter how impossible they may seem he is always willing to do what it takes to pursue the impossible. Some may say foolish but I say "What a Genius!"

I have to give a special thanks to Sarah who is my Dad's endless and wise companion who lets my dad live his life so vicariously and unpredictable. She gives him the chance to live his life and to be happy in what he feels is fulfilling it but at the same time keeps him grounded and secured. She is amazing in supporting him right now at this fragile time of healing and making everyday trials of life possible to live through. I love you and wish you both well.
