I finally have a chance to respond to this properly. First, I love the pictures of you and Pura, except the kissey face one but that's just because I'm a bah humbug right now when it comes to all things mushy. And with the horrible commercial love holiday right around the corner... well... BAH HUMBUG!!

Seriously, you are the luckiest guy you know and the luckiest guy I know.

I have to say, your story here... wow. You've been through some crap. I would have never guessed that you had one leg with all of the adventures. It's rare when you see someone truly live after they've lost a limb. I have seen some incredible stories that show that opposite though and now you are in that league with those who just don't let anything take you down. You are quite the inspiration and you make me realize that the human spirit, especially yours is truly special.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you how sorry I am because I have a feeling you don't want that. I am glad to see that you haven't let anything hinder you. You gained a few more cool points in my book.

Well, I'm just gonna say it... with that tidbit about opening up for Cut Chemist, you may have reached the very tippy top of my cool guy list.

Thanks for sharing this part of you @dandays.
