Olympians, swimmers and swim fans have related to Kaylee\u2019s outpouring, some sharing their own grief in an extraordinary reaction.<\/p>\n
\u201cLosing my Dad would have to be one of the hardest things I\u2019ve ever had to come to terms with,\u201d Kaylee wrote.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cThe man who once taught me how to walk, talk and live is no longer a phone call away.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cInstead he is now a precious and timeless memory tied closely to my heart. I will never understand why bad things happen to good people, but I know now that time waits for nobody.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cWhether it\u2019s the best of times or the worst of times, it\u2019s the only time we\u2019ve got.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes there will be no next time, no second chance, no time out.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes it is now or never, and that is exactly how my dad taught me to live my life.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cBe present, be grateful and remember to tell the people around you that you love them\u2026..because moments can become memories in the blink of an eye.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll never forget how selfless my dad was, he was the greatest dad I could\u2019ve asked for!<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cMy biggest cheer leader, my best friend. He gave me so much in life\u2026.the best childhood a kid could ask for. I\u2019d do anything just to be able to speak to him again. Until then I\u2019ll never stop living for the both of us, here\u2019s to you Dad<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
