I'm sorry for your lost!! It is nerve recline for me to even think about such a thing. I pray that God will continue to Bless, keep and comfort you and your family. Both of my sons knew of her. It truly is a blessing that you do what you do for the sake of other children. I have been a single father since 1997. I have two sons, my oldest is Isaiah 19 and Aaron 17. Isaiah was diagnosed with CIDP Chronic Inflammatory demolilating Polyneropathy, at the age of 12. It is a syndrome that allows your white blood cells to eat your nerves. He is supposed to be deceased according to doctors; but God delivered him. Out of that traumatic time a book was produced; Turning the Hearts of Fathers Back to Their Children. I pray your strength!!!!

I just tried to read the Article, but the site said that it was no longer available. I'm sure he has a tremendous story to tell. Hopefully we can link up when we get there.
In trying season, Virginia Tech's Jarrett keeps perspective by caring for disabled brother
Kyshoen Jarrett knows that there are more important things in life, everyday things. Kyshoen has shouldered a much heavier load than perhaps any other college football player in the country.

As I understand it, there has been some heated fellowship between UVA and Tech regarding recruiting in the 757, a certain 7on7 team and the coaches that coach them. I simply wanted to bring some clarity to a cloudy situation. My son has been a part of that team and coached by many of those coaches. Ever since Tech started recruiting my son, he has been excited about the possibility of an offer/playing for them. The possibility seems to be turning more and more into a reality as reported by Coach Gatlon. I just wish we would have had the opportunity to come visit earlier last year, but God has everything in its proper timing. You Gentlemen are awesome as I have read; and that's not only because of the encouraging words y'all have shared about my son. It seems to be something more, something genuine; something transparent and inviting. Honesty and character are high priorities for me and I demand it from my son. I always tell him, your talent will take you to great places, but only your character will keep you in those places.

Wow!!!! The so called rumors are no longer rumors; but in fact, Truth!! There are people on the boards that bash the 757. I spoke with one of the writers from VTScoop and he asked me if he could interview my son. I told him, absolutely!!! I even invited him to our Sunday afternoon workout at the Virginia Beach Sportsplex 1pm-3pm. I only asked that he would give me a heads up call for a field pass. I don't know of any coach in our camp that would discourage an athlete from going to a program. This is not about a coach, but 110% about the student/athletes. If Tech is willing to invest a $300,000 scholarship in a athlete, who are we or anyone else for that matter to tell them no, don't go to Tech. I don't have $300,000 plus laying around and neither do these coaches. We welcome all to come out; Caution!! If you Mr. Maximus show up, Please do not insinuate anything to the athletes or parents and please do not instigate accusations and arguments. Best Regards to the rest of my new friends!!!

nicely done.
as the parent of two kids in college, i know these are exciting (and stressful) times. financial assistance, quality of education, distance from home, etc. were all factors for us when our kids were figuring things out.
thanks for sharing your experiences with us. good luck in the process and i hope Aaron gets the offer.

DHG, Welcome to the board! I have read all of your post and will be a fan of your son and your family no matter the school he chooses to attend.
Congratulations to you and Aaron for him earning the opportunity to a free great education! Prayers to your family for continued strength. I hope you are able to read the article linked to K Jarrett, I found it moving and I don't have the same connection you will have.

Thank you for the gracious welcome!! And yes I have read the link. I believe God is producing young men who possess more than just talent on the field. These young men have a story to tell. There is substatance in their up bringing. The day of the athletic thug is over. Programs need more young men with a story behind the glory. Young men with character and integrity, Giftedly Athletic, but spiritually and morally grounded. Someone who won't embarrass the school, coaches or his teammates. This Jarrett young man seems to fit the bill amongst many of the other athletes on the team. I really cannot wait to meet him.
