Life of Kyle Prohaska

My Wonderful Parents...LOVE YOU GUYS!

From Kyle: There’s a few moments in life that really stick with you.  Weddings, Birthdays, Graduations, etc.  The normal things people think about.  Today I had one I’m adding to my list.  I received this email from my Dad today and asked him to reword it a little for all of you to read.  One thing a son treasures is approval from the father (that’ll preach!), and today I got a formal Blessing from mine.  Also as a side note in case many of you weren’t aware or didn’t watch the Behind The Scenes of the DVD yet…most of the marriage issues in the film are based on much of what my mother went through being the only Christian in the marriage for most of the time.This made the film very personal not just for me, but my family and my parents.  Perhaps that adds some more depth to the following and how much a moment this really was for my Dad.

Also, thanks Dad if you’re reading this for having the courage to stomach having some of your past mistakes out for the world to see.  The film in more ways than one is an example of God using all things for good to them that love Him (Rom 8:28).  I love you Dad, and I’m so Blessed to be your son.

“My day was blessed and interesting. My name is Rick Prohaska, I’m Kyle’s ( the Director’s) dad, I live in Ransomville NY however I work in Augusta Georgia as a Civil Engineer on a long term Nuclear Construction project. I went to get my Harley serviced today and decided after to go to the “LifeWay” Christian Store a mile from my condo to see if the Standing Firm DVD was on sale at the store and to browse. I went up and down a few rows and low and behold there it was…… my son’s first ever Movie with my friends face on the cover “ Rob Reisman” right smack on the cover. I grabbed one to buy and it appeared there were a few more DVD’s left in the slot and went about my looking about the store and decided to go back and take one more proud look and I could not find it, but I noticed the sale sign below the row and someone had placed 4 other different movies in the slot. There was a couple standing right there and I had to mention with the movie in my hand that they were all gone? This kind lady looked at me and said while showing me what was in her hand she had purchased the last one.

I thanked her and told her a little about the movie and my Director Son Kyle and she said she knows she will like the movie because by reading the back cover those are just the types of movies she and her family love to watch. The others around over heard me say my son directed the movie and they were sort of in disbelief asking questions, let’s face it how many times can you say you actually met someone in a DVD store that says something like that.LOL. Obviously amused, I went to the check out and did the whole scenario over again and informed the staff that the Standing Firm DVD’s are presently all gone on the shelf and would appreciate someone restocking the shelves a soon as possible. Everyone broke out laughing, The things as a parent you will never forget all the days of your life…….folks this was one of them. God is good and to think he saved a wretch like me. I love you Kyle.”
