After I finished my first marathon with my sister. I dedicated it to my father who suffered from a brain tumor that should have been fatal, instead he made it, but without the ability to run again.

My 3 year old daughter with down syndrome Jacqui West cheering for her achievement of walking down to get her certificate at her Early Head Start Graduation. Jacqui didnt walk until 33 months and we are all so proud of her ambition to be like the other kids in her playgroup.Mommy filled with love and tears. One of my best days ever!

Kosovo_058

This picture was taken in while visiting Kosovo. It is of some children play in the dirt street of the city of Peja. They seemed oblivious to their worn surroundings, as well as the torrid past that Kosovo held during the war several years back. This image made me think of perseverance, as well as hope for a brighter and more peaceful future for them.

My daughter, her husband and newborn baby. My daughter, Jessica, was determined to have her baby before her husband, Matt, would ship out on the cruiser Ronald Reagan. She made it! January 1, 2005 Georgia Porter was born! Her husband, Matt shipped out the next day to the Gulf. It was wonderful and very sad at the same time.

It doesn't matter how long it takes you to get where your going, what matters the most is that you get there.

This is a photo of my little girl, Ella as she goes through the motions of learning how to ride a bike . Faced with her fears, she rests in the thought that Dad is there to help her. And with that thought she gets her strength and her confidence. Here's to her dad and all the dads who take the time to be one!

Perseverance is being willing to go through two valleys to reach the top of the mountain. Without the valleys we would never appreciate the mount top.
