I appreciate the kind words of support. Whatever happens, I will be okay. I am very happy, content, and appreciative of life. One of the great privileges of this disease is experiencing the support of others and knowing that one’s life has been and is having a meaningful, positive impact. I hope that each of you will experience contentment in your life. Whatever challenges that you face, may each of you have the internal resources to deal with them and not let them become your master. May your lives be free and open and not dominated by fear, distrust, or anxiety. Take the lessions that you have learned in being a successful athlete and apply them to the rest of your life. Each of you is a role model for someone else. Over the years, I have learned much from each of you. May all of our lives be a beacon of light for others. For those of you that are planning to go to the 2010 MTF Outdoor Championships, I should see you there.

Many people walk in and out of our lives, but only the truly remarkable leave a positive mark on us. I have to say Carroll, you are one of those people and SHALL BE for a VERY long time. You have been the champion of masters hurdling and I wanted you to know that we are pulling for you.

you will be in my prayers…often times officials are the unworthy recipients of negative attitudes …somethings i’ve seen firsthand. you have excelled in your field, both on and off the track. the courage that pete mentions, will, no doubt, have an effect on your battle, as well as the lives of those who read about you…albert

In this ultramodern world we often forget about some of the old-fashioned virtues. In this case I am thinking of courage — clearly, Carroll, you have this in abundance, and it is serving you well now and will serve you well in the future. Best to you and my hopes for many happy years to come.

Of all the stories on the blog, this is one I DID NOT WANT TO READ. AND YET…

CARROLL, I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER
AND THE KNOWLEDGE IN MODERN MEDICINE.

YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS, RIGHT NOW.
