This writing about brain tumors is often depressing. For
reasons I still can't fathom good people, wonderful people, unsuspecting people
of all ages get whacked with brutally oppressive diseases that drag them to unhappy endings.
And
then I read about Jack Hoffman and the Nebraska football team. Jack is a 7 year
old cancer victim on a two-week hiatus from a “60-week chemotherapy regimen.” A 6 week chemo regimen would depress me, I
can’t imagine what 60 weeks of chemo would be like.
But
during the Nebraska football team’s spring scrimmage, the coach drew up a play
just for Jack that allowed him to score in front of nearly 70 thousand cheering
fans (If you are not from the U.S. or even the Midwestern section of the U.S., yes, you read that right. Seventy thousand
people attended a “practice” game in the off season).
And
if this video doesn’t bring a tear to your eye or quicken your pulse, call the
funeral home, because you’re dead.
