People who presume to tell us when it’s time to move on don’t know what they’re talking about. The best that can be said about them is that they lack humility.

You will always love and miss Elena. If that makes some people uncomfortable, that’s their problem.

You are a wonderful writer.

What’s happening with the book project?

Dear Daniel
For some reason today I ended up on Dear Elena. Don’t stop missing her, don’t stop wishing she were here, don’t stop wanting her back. I have a few pictures of Elena and there are moments that I look at the God Gifted smile and tear up. We too miss her, we too wish she were here, we too hurt for you and your family. Yes, we all need to move on, but I understand, there are days still that I gasp for air because I want my dad back.

We love and miss all of you.
Oh by the way if you get this, Jeff and I are moving to Nashville!

The loss of the ones we love never gets any easier, it only gets “different”.

Happy birthday. I hope you enjoy your 50s to the fullest. You continue to inspire me, and I was glad to see an update. Best wishes to you and yours.

Thanks for writing on your 50th. Your sprint-marathon concept is expressive, visual, and poignant. Your words inspire me. Maybe this year I’ll finally have the strength to simply get the track shoes on my feet.

I too read your blog and added it to my favourites. At intervals I go through my list and take certain blogs off but although you stopped posting I still could’nt bring myself to delete yours just in case a post might appear again one day.

So, from across the other side of the world may I wish you a belated “Happy Birthday” and thank you so much for all your pearls of wisdom.

Hi. I hope that time has brought you some peace.

I first read this post when my wife was pregnant with our third child. It moved me deeply then and it still moves me to read it now. We named our daughter Elaina and I think it had a lot to do with reading about your daughter. Every once in a while, when I look at her, I think about your family.

She turned three in July. I try to always remember, with each of my children, that each day is a gift.
