Thirty-five years ago Dallas—and the country—was gripped by the tragic story of John McClamrock, a high school football player paralyzed during a violent tackle. But after the newspapers moved on, another story was quietly unfolding, one of courage, perseverance, and a mother’s fierce love.
I received this story from H. with a Happy Mother's Day wish. H. would only sent me worth-reading articles, we're both terribly busy, and I must say I was a bit reluctant to open up this article to read. So glad I did...I couldn't stop reading, and reread...the 4th time...with tears streaming down my face each time...I wanted to rush home and hold my children...and my parents...and my brothers and sisters...It moves me and makes me ponder all day...I wonder if I could be like John's mother, or like Henry, oh bless Henry!
Such a life worth living!
I asked my family to read it. :) It's the best article I've read in a long time. Thanks H. for thinking of me.
