Thank you.

Hey all,

First time posting on here in a while- things haven't been the easiest for me and my family over the past month and I wanted to reach out and say thank you for the MM family support.

I'm sure most of you are aware by now but I was involved in a tragic accident several weeks back and unfortunately lost my roommate and best friend next to me in the passenger seat. The many weeks ahead will continue to be a nightmare for me as I go through the grieving process for my best friend and his family, as well as legal process. I'm seeking regular counseling to aid in my mental healing and overcome symptoms of PTSD, among the many other physical injuries I obtained.

As many of you close to me know my family has been battling a rare blood disorder that has nearly taken my mothers life two times over the last 15 years. This adversity that the four of us have been given in a way is a blessing; I have a brother and two parents that form a solid, unbreakable rock that I can stand on. Aside from this terribly low point in my life, full of anxiety and grief, we are running out of treatment options for my mothers condition (TTP) and have resorted to a chemotherapy treatment. Please include my mother and the incredible doctors at UNC in your prayers. When it rains, it pours.

Life is far from normal right now for me and my family however this week I was reminded of how thankful I am to know all of you and lucky enough to be apart of the MM family. My brother, Mike, informed me that Justin, Jake, Lee, and many others who I'm forgetting to mention (sorry) all chipped in some money to aid me in getting back on my feet. I cannot thank you enough for this support- the text messages and phone calls were more than enough.

I think everyone here knows the type of individual I am...... that being said I know this shit storm will pass and I will make an incredible positive out of this speed bump in my life.

For privacy reasons I have taken away all my social media garbage but I don't have my address book in my phone up to speed yet. If you'd like to call me, talk, or just simply shoot me your digits I would love to hear your voice.

Again, I can't thank everyone enough for the overwhelming love and support.

Here for you if you need anything at all, Dan. You're in my family's thoughts and prayers; if you ever need to get out of town for awhile just let me know.

[rherold9]

We are all here for you. Keep your head up! Always a phone call away if you need anything.

[JustinG]

Love ya man, you'll get through this. We are all here for you if you need us.

[JPolen01]

Good to see you posting on here. Let me know when you're ready to take me up on the O's Yankees game offer.

[Sully]

Glad to see your post. I know it's a tough time and I'm sure you've been getting slammed with texts and calls so I've been holding back but I've definitely been thinking about you. Definitely let me know if you need anything or are in Richmond or anything like that. Stay strong bud. Hope to see you soon.

[ScottyB]

you're one of the good ones bud. we've all been thinking about you and hopefully you've had the space and time you need at the start of all this to cope.

can't imagine what you're going through but you've always got this motley crew to call on if you need anything.

[Senor_Taylor]

I have the F40 poster you made over my bed and I've thought about you every time I've looked at it. I know it's been said a million times, but I'm here if you need anything. Glad to see you're getting better. I wish you all the best, man.

[NTIman]

I'm really sad that you've had a rough go of it lately. You're a great guy and probably a lot stronger than I am.

If you need anything let me know.

[*insertusernamehere*]

Dan I am so glad you are okay! You're a strong man and I know you and you're family will be able to pull through like you all always have!

Like everyone else, feel free to get in touch if you ever want to talk!

[Jewels]

Dddaaaannnn!!! Its good to hear from you. Been praying for you brother! I have to admit its times like these that reminds me that I have all these brothers that I've collected over the years. MM is definitely a family, and I hope our family can lift you and your family up in their prayers and thoughts and help as much as we can. As all the other's have said, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. That includes needing an extra couple prayers!

Heal up, we look forward to seeing you around these parts again!

[SlimKlim]

Love ya buddy. I know we haven't reached out but Lauren and I have been thinking of you often. I can't imagine what you've been going through, but I do know you're one of the strongest guys I know.

[ispoonwithmugen]

Love ya man. Glad you're doing better and I can't begin to imagine what you're going through. You're a strong kid and if you need anything at all don't hesitate to reach out.

[Mike]

great to hear from you.

[BLINGMW]

Sounds awful. I'm really glad to hear YOU know you'll get through this.

[Beej]

Been thinking about you a lot since I heard, Dan. I'm very happy to hear that you have a good support system and are seeking the kind of help you are, this early on.

Like all of these fine folks have said - if you need anything, don't hesitate.

[davej]

Glad to see you post Dan, been in our thoughts and prayers since I heard. (and adding your mom as well)

Your life and those affected have been forever altered in a way I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, and for that I grieve with you; but keep yourself plugged into your support system and let us carry you when you need it brother.
