Happy Father’s Day
Today I am getting up extra early to do what I’ve done hundreds of times before…. But before my run this morning, I will go with my brothers and sister and first walk a simple mile. A mile we’ve all run before, yet it’s a first for all of us. We know the route like the back of our hands, but it’s still brand new. This special mile, while it will remind us all that our hearts have broken wide open, will bring us even closer together. This mile is in honor of our Dad. It was the last mile he ever ran on this earth two short weeks ago. We will meet at the elementary school, where he started, and we will walk this mile together at 6:07am, the exact moment he began running his last mile. We will both mourn his loss and celebrate him in a way that only we can….
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. We love you so much.
