So first, I want to say, i miss writing these. I have no idea if I helped anyone or if anybody read these, but I will say it helped me express thoughts and feelings I was having in the moment, and if somebody could get something useful out of that, all the better.
Not long after my last blog that I wrote 2 and a half years ago we had a family tragedy. My eldest son suffered from a brain tumor that ruptured and unfortunately took his life. He was a 15 year old young man, and was the best son anyone could ask for. Since then it’s been a journey of picking up the pieces, and trying to move forward.
This brings me to my point of this blog. I had to figure out quickly after his passing how to get on with life, and i had to come up with an answer quickly, i had a wife and 2 other children that relied on me and looked to me for strength. So, as hard as it was I picked myself up, and started moving forward. Not forgetting my son, but remembering that life continues to move and I still have family that needs me.
My 2 other children couldn’t see me fall apart. They couldn’t lose their brother and their father. They needed guidance and help in moving forward. As a family, we bound together and continued to live, remembering that one of the most key attributes to being successful is being tough, and this event really tested my toughness.
Life will beat you to death, literally. Stay focused on the things that you love and that make you happy. Try to be a good person and stick to your guns.
I don’t know if this is the correct blog to do this but fitness has always helped put things in perspective, so I am going to keep posting a workout every time. Do this one in silence, no headphones or music, let your mind think and wonder.
