You bought me my first BMX bike but little did you know the impact that purchase would have on my life and lives of others around the world.
You didn’t think that bike would lead me to seeing the world and being paid to be myself. You didn’t see that bike leading me down an extraordinary path that would save my life and inspire & empower others around the world.
You supported my dreams every step of the way even if you were afraid for my taking the risks or not stoked of the wear and tear lugging my bike around had on you car. You gave me freedom yet taught me responsibility and how to be a man and own my choices.
You taught me the value of hard work and being the best I could be in all aspects of life.
You led by example and I picked up on your personality and how you treated others and how they treated you, and I always wanted to be like you. You gave me an opportunity to become who I wanted to be and make my dreams come true. You gave me freedom and the ability to create a life I dreamed of.
You fostered a great relationship with my mother, which is the reason I tired out how I did.
I know you always say you’re proud of me, but I’ll never stop striving to be the best I can and make you as proud of possible. I love you, dad! ❤️💚✌️
