Reflection
December 11, 2012-December 11, 2020..........8 years and it seems like a lifetime ago. When I went to sleep last night I said to Lori that I couldn’t believe it had been 8 years since my first surgery. I remember being in the hospital watching the news and seeing the stories about Superstorm Sandy and the benefit concert that was taking place or the horrific news out of Connecticut about the senseless shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Eight years later and it’s a pandemic the world hasn’t seen in a century, it’s a child in the White House who can’t accept defeat, but one of the things i’ve learned over the years is to not to watch the news because it’s negativity that I don’t need in my life. While the world has changed and stayed the same in a lot of ways, my life has certainly changed and only for the better. My surgery awoke a new passion and drive that had long dissipated, that drive to challenge myself and become a better man, a better husband and a better father. Tru
