I am a proud American, a proud father, a proud husband, a proud brother and a proud son.
I worked for my father from the late 1980s when I was in high school,
Shortly after my wife and I were married in 2007, we bought the house across the street from my parents.
Since the birth of our children, now 8 and 11, we have spent countless afternoons and evenings with my parents.
My father sleeps very little, struggles to breath and has developed disorders related to both that challenge our family daily.
Prior to the 2016 election,
My father LOVES his #RedHat!
Election night 2016 was special.
Tonight, my emotions are pouring out as I sit by myself yet again.
I am tearing up as a I type, partly worried about my father,
My father’s mind is not alright this evening, and my brother is staying with my parents to lend a hand.
I only wish my father could watch the #RNCConvention right now. He’d be proud.
Thank you @POTUS @realDonaldTrump for doing what you do. And thank you to your wonderful family. Your sacrifices don’t go unnoticed.
Hold your loved ones close and take nothing for granted.
