Rarely have I felt this affected by the loss of somebody. I feel like I lost a great friend that I never really met. Stuart Scott was diagnosed with cancer the year my daughter was born. I learned so much of what should be expected from me as a father by seeing how his daughters were his main concern, and dying was only a tragedy because of what his daughters will miss out on by not having a dad around. I must admit Im full of tears today, even now, and Im not one to really cry. I have alot of growing to do as a father, and it is the examples of great fathers like Stuart Scott that show me not only that Im not there yet, but who I should model myself by. Im so thankful for Stuart. For the years of making sportscenter the best part of my day, and for the lessons I learned from his strength. I will be praying for his family, especially his daughters, and I dont know if Ive ever looked more forward to hugging mine when I pick her up tomorrow. Goodbye pal..and again, thanks..you will be missed. Here is his last speech at the espys. I encourage you to watch. #bouyah
