Eric Arnell: Listening to the doctor tell my wife & I that they couldn’t find my son’s heartbeat while she was laying on the delivery room table the day he was supposed to be born. [we’re so very sorry, Eric]
Mathew Shepard: Standing up from a squatting position with a 3yr old on my shoulders and a bag of dog food and a gallon of milk in my hands because I dropped the keys.
Daniel Dominguez: Coming to terms with the fact that my one year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer, and finding the strength to overcome chemotherapy and surgery. All without knowing the outcome.
Rich Blk Alderslade: Struggling with new found fears. Not sure if this sounds stupid but since the moment i first held my son (he’s nearly 6 now) I realized how much I fear death or him getting hurt. Gets to the point where I find myself laying in bed worrying myself about it but I’ve always just assumed it’s something every parent goes through.
Christian Manrique: Waiting on the other side of the world for news from my wife and daughter when they had an accident in which my little girl got second degree burns on her arm.
Mike Wright: When my daughter had seizures at a very young age. I would have done anything to take her spot at that time. Thank the lord she grew out of them.
Jeff M: Dealing with his mother and always feeling like I’m not there as much as I should be. Trying to balance my time with him and work.
Adam Duffield: Watching my little princess scream tears and tears louder and louder, helpless, in pure pain as the doctors put tubes up her nose, down her throat and connecting several different canals. Screaming whenever she wasn’t asleep or eating out of pure pain.
Kashmar Barnes: Being a single dad to a little girl since five months old. Still alive and kicking though!
Josh Ogin: Having to wear pants around the house… the struggle is REAL.
Doug Beaver: Talking to my son about death of family members and peers; letting him know there is no “right way” to grieve.
Donovan Mullen: Learning to control my anger i suffer from some issues from my time in the army and i was an angry person and not being mad at my son for not sleeping was the hardest thing for me to learn.
Corey Howard: Finances. I’m limited a young father with no education. It’s my biggest uphill battle.
