  • Meet August 4th's Dad, Matthew Ahr!!

    Matthew is the father of 2 kids, Kadan (8 years old) & Lily (4 years old). He was nominated by his wife Heather, who says "I am nominating my husband for his dedication and fighting spirit. He has put what he wants aside and put his family first.
    A) He has made a 6 hour trip at least every other weekend, out of state then back, to pick his son up. For awhile it was an 8-9 hour trip. Unless there is a physical reason, he doesn't let his emotions or schedule stop him from making sure he is present in our, but his son's life.
    B) Our daughter, at 10 months old, was diagnosed with severe retinoblastoma. We had noticed a white glow in pictures, and finally she was blind in one eye. This cancer grows quickly, her left eye was removed, and there were many scares that it was in her brain or her spine. We never knew how it would end up. This involved trips to Philadelphia as well as driving to get Kadan in Meadville, PA then Columbus, OH. He would almost always insist on doing the driving. He would remember all the details, to the point of calling out staff if something was mixed up. She is doing very well today. He did his best to make sure I was able to get through my low points, stepping up when I was having a severe panic attack at the end. He pushed through any tension and works on making sure Kadan doesn't feel he has a broken home. He makes our daughter feel powerful. He encourages me.
    He is a genuine fighter for his kids and me. If there is a kid who looks up to him, he makes sure to include them and be a father figure. He is determined and a prayerful, faithful, loving person. I couldn't want a better husband and father to our kids.

    Currently we moved to Pittsburgh for all the driving we do, but we will always represent Buffalo. (Don't worry, he is still raising Buffalo Bills/Sabres Fans in the Pitt." Keep being an amazing father Matthew!!!
