This time last year I was sitting in Albany Med, after being up for over 24 hours, being told that he might not make it, and if he did he would never be a police office again. Having never prayed before, I prayed to every God out there to wake from this nightmare. This was not real. As the days went by, things got worse. He got worse. He fought for every breath, every second. He never gave up. And I never gave up on him. I wasnt ready to say goodbye, and he wasnt ready to leave me. He wouldnt allow it. Not yet. Not Owen L. It was gonna take more then this to take him away. And so he fought. And fought some more. Today, we sat together on this beautiful day, drinking beer, and laughing. Like it never happened. Never walk again? Nice try. Never be a police officer again? Good luck. Not my superman, not today. Not ever. When I received the phone call about his accident. This song was playing on the radio as I pulled into the emergency room, and I knew. He was gonna be okay. And better then ever. And I was right. I love you more then you will ever understand. Heres to second chances Dad.
