had a serious family emergency last night and not sure if/when i'll run today, but for the first time in a long time running is just not a priority right now.
long story short, my dad was kidnapped, robbed and stabbed last night, but they found him and the nutcase. (a friend of the dude turned him in.) thank the lord his injuries were not life-threatening, and we were able to leave the er in the late hours of the night/morning. my daddy is a good man, he did not deserve this.
burger, i thought a lot about you last night as the events slowly unfolded and i can't imagine what you went through a few years ago. i'll especially be praying for you and your family this christmas.
we're all doing ok, especially pops. he's making jokes as usual and just trying to get some rest and avoid the "paparazzi". thanks in advance for your thoughts, warm wishes and prayers.
love and hug your moms and dads and sisters and brothers, and have an especially wonderful christmas with your families. don't take a single moment for granted.

ReplyDeleteSo, so glad that you have him back, safe and sound. It really could have taken the slightest of change in events that takes you from grateful, to grieving. I'm extremely relieved that it was the former.
Thanks for your thoughts. Mine too will be on you and your family and hope the strength and resolve will be there to get through this tramatic event.
I am so sorry about what happened to your dad and glad to hear that he looks like he'll be okay. hang in there as best as you can....your family is in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWow, and I thought I had a good excuse for not running with the whole "icy weather" thing.
