Yesterday along with friends, I celebrated my wife Ruthie’s birthday. But not far removed from the celebration, were thoughts of Todd Heap and his daughter Holly. Holly shares a birthday with Ruthie and would have turned four yesterday, if not for a tragic accident that challenges anyone’s faith.
The Heap Family has suffered. As a father, I can’t even begin to understand the pain that is Todd’s new and unfortunate reality. I can only imagine how surreal each morning is for him, awakening to a new day, and then the cold reminder of Holly’s loss that likely bites like the most bitter winter winds.
