Peg leg positivity

My Dad is an amazing role model


Poem Artwork

I am back from a tough one
My dad is in rough shape
He thought he had a bad cramp
But his leg, the doc might have to take

It was silliness he used to cope with it all
He said he'll get a peg leg and be a pirate, have a ball

The lesson I learned is one my dad wanted me to
You never know how tomorrow will challenge us, it's true
So make the best of every situation, that's the only thing to do

He looks like a great guy. I hope the doctors can save his leg.
He (and you) have a wonderful attitude.

We never know what the next day will bring.

Need to look at every challenge as an opportunity to overcome. I've been taking advantage of a peg leg here and a peg leg there since being paralyzed 43 years ago. Got only lemons but made lemode, sold it and became a millionaire.

I admire your Dad for his courage..
It's a great man who can laugh about
the situation...
He raised you just right Lynn...
Believe it or not I myself can make light
of a bad situation.
Could it be the Axelson thing?
Love ya! I hope all goes well for Dad.
He's in my prayers......
