Now he is he backfield coach for Parkview High School, which has one of the winnings football programs in the country. When I contacted Steve recently to set up this article, he asked me if I remembered him. Here is what I wrote to him:<br> Coach Brooks, I have always held you in high esteem as a coach and as a man. But it is your example as a father that I cherish most about our acquaintance. I will always remember looking down at your son Craig in his crib when I stayed in your home. I was overcome and lifted by the Holy Spirit. <br>You see, at this same time I also had a son who was just a baby in a crib. My son, Mark, was healthy. Steve s son was born without eyes or an esophagus. In addition, Craig s brain was not fully functional nor would it ever be normal. It was suggested that Craig be placed under institutional care where he wasn t expected to live very long. Some even hinted at just letting little Craig pass on. However, to Steve and his wife Carol, their son was special and God s gift to them. Craig would be raised at home and be greatly loved. I was filled with emotion and gratitude for two things: First, for my son being healthy and second, for Steve s wonderful example. <br>On the recommendations of Dr. Charley Howell, Craig went through several operations and survived. Recently, Coach Brooks gave me an update and sent me a photo of his son. Craig will be 17 this June; my son Mark will turn 17 in July. Craig can hold hands with his dad and walk around the track. He smiles and can even say a few words. Steve credits his wife Carol as the one who has made Craig s life what it is today.  She has done all of the hard work, he said.  Craig s special ed teacher April has also been a true miracle worker. <br>As I looked at the photo and pondered over life s bigger picture, I reflected upon the importance of gratitude and families.<br>I finished my letter to Steve:  I know that in the afterlife Craig s body and mind will be restored. I know he will thank you for being the father that you are. Families are a forever thing. Later, Steve called me and told me he has the same feelings. <br>It s a good time now to remember our families and treasure them. Time to take a few moments to think beyond our everyday problems and focus on the big picture. <br><br>Time to be grateful.<br> even think about supplementation. We do provide some supplements to our athletes, but the NFL has created some very strict and stringent guidelines on what can and cannot be taken. We ve really taken a step back from a supplementation perspective because the last thing we want to do is recommend something that might flag in a test as a banned substance. We have to be very cautious to be sure that the supplement companies we recommend do not produce any products in their line that has anything with ephedrine or with any androgenic or anabolic substances. That limits the number of companies to a very, very small number.<br><br>BFS: When was the last time you worked 40 hou:ٗo1`@,+ CHo¡B )ҙJFSsm_(]9;o1W5Yy)j] I^Ue"ʻ/VWcW)9&*~X$4k' SNk" +?'Olir-@(9S%nhғ]@u@jCU9)<i>gPv*}Oݬ񏵿ő-xd궶k*/ϕі5=>ݑwOA%]G*6K cjvj2oԭ&M*`yISNNɎr4ɖ9Pxl<<=M' H#U[rUrEuM`4~vjKL~+kȭz|*_Aou ;5WC !/Pb>c쵫 qAq98~gpe=]?unRbG~ʌP*Tzg9~ZӿKe#  թ׈jgEq}޸")Vr 2@ucl2TU9?v8=xsq֘ѧYEF'=5s 41[)LV E Ol\Z:. lzхpZ삙JO.# a|8h(bb`Jfp^)x Τ¤*>x}r|x&ph‚QZ69 I COۖ7KN7gƋ?/Ïգ=~m9C-:GO@ < .LXAp=[̋ xT%oZ܇e3Pcs*Qlcl pv4O<\.P=C˱j l#an/{a6 z׀@JٻqH@Knh,ޒ{W6ZH d$9m4k4)sjFPt*P b@Hu Ӝ'M7AH؃#‚6E FlhCjrEzLrK vD B7a u$b gnڋIɁŴe[hTШ8oly5.O[>.# .v8ړܣ#ýs* q,ow2H㉆vbś:e{ޔƿ mɩǤB.̇e\{ʡG#@j 0AdLi#a[+7.=Q61NK h"1}^"K} 4hzR>rf<0]+p&B9xl0D(jrOTqPWe !=a~S1AʫJȃ\2"rm4X69 )xJ=?:P#){:?ALиޛ =$_U _i342Tc='2+Է+ʧSl6\A/+Bө8;~%M:baR!Ѷ8T܊c;Ňz\NKc7F71,X-h']v]Ͻ QHMp )kd(ި%57 cL~dƾ8u9)r\oc6NJF/*$ E&{}(qJ@Z=QBL"Ep@ȣ%mN9I7W$/55JW&wWлJ&n9ϮL s,б*rVftEFwG-!&ۍeߏG(T?=dd,*sWŽB8.<)˰w2&ۉ7Դ$#-q-4 $M T xbS0hJ` 6@A`EGjh7 fA1!|@?G\kU?|-&oͤë|[qEI%?dn1SJ jdw1OH,ZW9FzQj s]xqfY%c>ذ@>#;{g!4jTZbNN p
