Pascal Dupuis - Tumblr Posts

At night, before his children go to sleep, the prayers in the Dupuis household always circle back to daddy. Ages 11, 9, 7, and 4, they pray for their father, NHL veteran Pascal Dupuis, to stay safe on the ice. Dupuis has been preparing for the 2015-16 season for several weeks now after a blood clot traveled to his lung and threatened his livelihood and life in November. He believes they understand he’s OK now. “They do. They see me. They know. They’re old enough now,” said Dupuis. “They know what I’m doing. They know the injection part. They’ve read enough. We talked enough about it. … Every night in prayers, my name comes up. Let’s make sure daddy stays safe. They know what’s going on.”

God. Damn. It. Poor Duper. ACL injuries suck out loud.

This was when I really started crying yesterday and it only snowballed from there. Duper means so much, to so many people.

As I said on twitter, thanks Dana--I hadn’t cried enough about Duper already, damn you.
