Jimmy -V- Pause and remember
Jimmy -V- Pause and remember
As I have done in past years I sat with my eyes glued to the games of the Jimmy V Classic just waiting in anticipation for Jimmy V's wonderful heart touching speech that he gave on ESPN just before he lost his battle with cancer. As I sat tonight and watched the re-run of one of the most inspirational speaches of modern times I found myself realizing that every time I see this speech I learn more and more about how precious life really is. Tonight as I watched I realized how he spoke of life not only as a father, but also as a coach and how those two things that are so far apart are also tightly connected. It touched me tonight, to see a man so weak he had to be helped upon the stage to speak, and SPEAK HE DID.....! I watched him gain strength as he spoke about how precious every minute was in life.! It reminded me that I should pause and reflect on how precious my family is to me........ and remember that at age 49 my father lost his battle with this terrible disease and just this past Aug. I also lost my mother to it also...! So please just pause and reflect, as Jimmy V said "Laughter, Thinking, and stir your emotions every day will make your life so much better....! Mom, Dad Thinking of YOU... Love Ya...!

Just saw the speech again myself after the WV vs Davidson game.
I never get tired of seeing it. Amazing how he could give a talk like that right off the cuff.
And, he was right on with what he had to say.
