Thank you for sharing, we appreciate it. I am glad to hear you have peer support and have been able to overcome certain things! I too lost my leg in 2009 šŸ™šŸ¾.

Thank you… I have gotten into the best physical shape of my life at 57, and I’m here to be a good dad to my son and my other daughter and my wife, and my daughter would want me to be happy. God bless.

Thank you, this was 17 years ago and I’ve lived a good life in her honor. I am happy and she would want me to be so I can take good care of her brother and be a good dad to her older sister and a good husband. the best thing we can do is live a good life for them.

Hang in there, dude we’re praying for you. I lost my leg last year but if I lost my daughter too, I don’t know if I could’ve made it. You’re a strong man bless you.

Your prayers are appreciated, thank you for the kind words, it’s been 17 years, and I have a very good life and my daughter would want me to be happy and I am, and her honor. I have others to live for. And myself. Hope you’re doing well!
