[UPDATE]: NOW W/ PICS: Tarheel Paul's Trip To Dallas

I am so glad that you and your wife had a great time at the game and a couple of good days! You have been in the thoughts of my wife and I for quite some time now, and we are pleased to hear that you guys had at least a little bit of fun.

I don’t have the security to add pictures to someone else’s post, but I did forward them to Dave and since he’s the all-mighty, grand poobah of BTB, there may be a way for him to do it…

As for the trip, I for one, and I’m sure I’m not alone, was happy to help out a fellow Cowboys fan and family. The purpose of what we wanted to do was to show you and your family that, while the heartache is real and deep at this time, life goes on. The hurt eases but the hole never goes away, if you understand what I’m saying. And you are correct – your daughter was most likely looking down on you two and smiling ear to ear at seeing her Mommy and Daddy smiling again. I know you believe that she wants that for you, because seeing you guys smile and enjoying each other will bring a smile to HER face as well.

And that, my friend, is the greatest gift of all.

God bless…

Very gratifying to see you post this . Am so pleased you were able to have some normalcy, some pleasure, just some relief. Be well and know we are always thinking of you.

THP – Look forward to sharing the season with you, your wife and brother

You and your wife are very strong and I admire you for the way you handle your life after your terrible tragedy. My thoughts are with you and your family. Take good care of you

I only wish that I could have helped out. God Bless!

I’m so happy you and your wife got so much from the experience. Looking forward to seeing those pics, especially the ones of you two smiling.

Typing with tears of happiness in my eyes. I’m really warmed knowing BTB was able to help … but don’t forget to also give yourself a little credit for those smiles and good times you two had throughout the weekend! I agree with you and Raul and others that your girl is smiling down on you, and loves to see you smiling back…

Thanks again for your post… your “writing from the heart” is beautiful stuff… it got to me!

I look forward to seeing you more and more around BTB this season :)

I think we owe you thanks instead – you’ve shared some difficult things with your BTB family and given all of us some amazing perspectives to carry with us.

The thoughtfulness and courage you and your wife approach life with will indeed make Olivia proud of her parents. And all of us as well.

God bless.

It was a pleasure of all of us to help make it happen.

was that you know your little girl would want to see you happy, smiling, and laughing, because I’m sure that’s the way you remember her, too.
I’m glad that for just a few moments, we were able to help you do just that.

I’d also like to add that the example that you and Tammy are setting is a valuable gift to us. Thank you.

Paul, that is great to hear that you and Tammy were able to enjoy yourselves, at least briefly. I truly was glad to help. So many times, when people close to us experience a tragedy, it is hard to be able to do anything other than offer condolences. In this case, it seemed obvious what we could to help you out in this time of need.

Looking forward to “spending” the season with ya.

…just seein’ y’alls smilin’ faces kinda hit me hard just now. I’m so glad y’all were able to get away, even for just a bit, and actually enjoy y’allselves… Extremely proud of you for keepin’ your head up, and shoulders broad… proud of everyone on this site that helped another brother out.

Like I told ya before Paul, we’re all family here.

BTW, the brick w/ your name on it is BADASS… I’d actually thought about doin’ it at one point in time. -Damn it… lol

I’ve never been able to get to the end through the tears for your family. Most of us will never fully understand your loss but we’ve all hurt for you too. Your post was perfect. The healing has begun. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me.

And thanks for letting us help you, it does us all good.

I was using your pics to show my friend how sweet the stadium is. Your pics show it off better than most of the press pics.

You deserve it. Just remember that your life has been enriched because Olivia has been a part of it. We hug our little girl just a little tighter after hearing your story, so she’s enriched our lives too. You’ve been in our prayers. You will see your little angel again.

Thanks for sharing your adventure with us and I’m glad everyone was able to help with this.
