if in fact football did cause my ALS. It means to me that I gave my life helping a city and a region in ruins find some hope in their struggle for rebirth. I will never regret that.

Well I needed a good cry this morning.........

quote:

I sit somewhere on the razor's edge. I am so happy to hear my son say, I love you dadu. So happy I want to explode. But I also have fleeting, but agonizing moments of frustration as I watch my friends throw him giggling in the air. I just want so badly to hug him like I used to hug the people I love so much, to brush his hair or hold his hand.


Deep breath.........

I only got through the first page before I felt my "allergies" starting to act up. Will have to finish at home.

Wow, what an incredible read and what a tremendous human being.

at the part where he wished he could hug his son or just brush his hair. That part really hit me hard, as "tight hugs" are my son's trademark.

to the admin team for bumping this one higher than the ATL radio host debacle.

had my wife read the whole article and she was sobbing almost the whole time.

Really hits home as her father has Parkinson's and his condition continues to get worse and has gotten to the point where he's had to retire
