Matt-we have never met but I’m friends with your parents and they are as amazing as you say. It speaks volumes that you could carrying on and enjoy yourself as well. Resiliency at its best. Thank you for writing this and I hope I get to meet you soon.
You are a fantastic writer! It made me feel I was right there experiencing that situation with you. I know Nancy through tennis/pb and met John when he brought her to the PACC for a visit when she was recovering from her biking mishap. Your parents live life to the fullest and this is just a speed bump to them. What great role models for you! Carry on...
Hi Matthew. This is Jane Cantrell Caron. I grew up with your mom on Mercer Island. I would love to send your dad a note. Thank you!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this blog, your raw vulnerability and honesty. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Take good care . . . .
Unbelievable story. He is the toughest guy on the planet - and the silver lining was having his closest support group beside him. Kudos to all of you! Looking forward to seeing your folks back here in Oregon soon.
OHMYGAWD!!! Prayers up for Dad! First Mom's trail accident a couple years ago and now this? I'm SO glad you were all together as trite as that sounds. Prayers up for ALL of you to recover quickly. Love to John and Nancers!
I met your parents on a trip in Mexico. That’s exactly how I would picture your father handling the whole thing. Cool as a cucumber! Wishing him a speedy recovery!

If you're a friend of my parents you're a friend of mine. If you're ever in New York let me know and we can grab a coffee!

First heard about the accident from your Dad the next day. Calm. Blamed himself. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and the family.
Hope the trip home goes smoothly and he is able to be as comfortable as possible.
