Kinda boring so just warning you if you dont like that stuff.
Not to long ago my dad was diagnosed with cancer. It was last October and couldnt even beleive what was happening. But skiing has always been a huge part of my dads life. From skiing competitively to President of the Columbus Ski Association. In december we went a few times together but after that he just wasnt strong enough to go anymore and it was devastating to him. In the winter he would look outside while it was snowing and just cry he would say ' It s goin to be a good day on the slopes today shawn you should go'. In Febuary i took him to the slopes and i talked some workers and they let us ride to the top and we just sat up there for 3 hours and watched everyone enjoying the fresh snow. One of the greatest days on the slopes and i didnt even put on a pair of skis.
Anyway the reason i posted is becuase i got an idea a few months ago after we had watched every ski movie i own 50 times. I would go in his room everynight with my labtop and we would watch all of your videos you have posted. For that hour that we would sit and enjoy them it seemed that his pain wasnt there and i was actually helping him. Though i knew i wasnt it was good just to see him smile again. It was one part of the day he said he actually looked forward to.Time passed and now doctors tell us it spread to quickly and he is really sick now they assume he will go sometime this week. Its hard for him to even talk but the other night he wanted me to make sure I thanked all of you for the videos you posted. He said for that hour he felt like he was skiing again becuz thats as close as he could get. So thank you NS for helping my dad go in peace!!
Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.
