I love this story! I have read your columns for years and I always find them interesting and informative and written with emotion....even sports stories! But my favorite stories are when you write about people who overcome the odds and succeed in life! Thank you for showing there is always hope!!
Great column John. I enjoy your personal stories the best. It offers hope and empathy. Two things that are sorely missing in this world today. Keep it up.
Just started watching After Life, about a man who loses his wife to cancer, and struggles to carry on - here's to JT who forged ahead, and to the kids he wouldn't leave behind!
What an awesome story....it's amazing how much power a person has in their voice and their words. You John, made that happen that day when they were in need. Well done sir.
