This is a story of a man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. A story of a man whose feet are enormous. Who knew God made feet so big (size 15)! Who has proven that in a time of struggle he doesn’t need to stand on his own two feet… he can do it on one. That legs aren’t required to be a dad; a perfect body is not necessary to love or be loved by your family. This is a story of a man taking it one step at a time….and winning. This is Mark’s story.
It was April 30, 2011 and Mark was standing on a side walk in Oakland while waiting for his family, who were inside a nearby store. He was hit by a truck that jumped the curb and pinned his leg to a building, while the rest of him went through a plate glass window of a beauty salon. Through the bravery and kindness of strangers Mark survived the unthinkable. He should have died. But he didn’t. He is here on this earth for a reason. Maybe it’s to show us what grace looks like, how love can heal even the deepest wounds or show what determination looks like. What ever the reason I am glad he is here. I am glad that in two weeks after a long journey, Mark will be able to get a prosthetic! A new beginning. Just after the accident, a friend told Susan, Mark’s wife, “Knowing your family this will only be a speed bump in life not a dead end.” I couldn’t agree more. Yea, the rules are a little different and so is life but it doesn’t have to change everything. He can still beat his sons in basketball
