the impossible

on december 23, my best friend's dad was cleaning snow off their roof when he lost his footing and fell onto their concrete sidewalk. he was rushed to mayo hospital, where he was almost immediately brought into surgery. the doctors had little hope that he would survive the next 7 hours of operation. he had 7 broken ribs, a stretched spinal cord, and a shattered vertebrae. he has 22 stitches in the back of his head, and 2 titanium rods were placed in his spine. he's paralyzed from the waist down. but he's alive.

my best friend has been the strongest girl for the past few weeks. she never gives up on her dad, and she's hopeful that he'll be able to get up out of that wheelchair someday.

there's no such thing as hopeless,
if you believe...

unsinkable ships; sink.

unbreakable walls; break.

sometimes the things you think will never happen

happen just like that.

unbendable steel bends.

if the fury of the wind is unstoppable.

i've learned to never underestimate

the impossible.
