Carter Hucks

Advertisement
Went back to surgery for kidney cancer surgery, they told me I had about a 40% chance of kicking over. I remember the day they told me I had cancer. I was a 38 year old man, 6 foot 1, 200 (at the time), and I felt so small, like I was nothing.
Then I look at my man Carter, and think just wow. How the **** could a kid keep it all together and inspire folks, and I couldn't even come close to that as a full grown man (maybe not mentally).
Pulling for Carter and the family. Kid keeps his head up, and takes it all in stride from everything I have seen, and to me, that is the most amazing part of his story. I see stories like his, and it really makes me wish I could take it away for him, take on that burden.
When my mom came and told me it ain't fair that I had the cancer and then later MS, it was about the only time I ever got mad, as I told her, that is not fair to anyone else - no one deserves it; it was my cross to bear and what was meant to be.
Well, I was wrong, it isn't fair that a kid has to go through something like he is about to and has gone through. **** pulls at my heart.

Don't let it. He's going through things to uplift a lot of folks. Ask what, not why.
 
I think we all have had situations in our lives where we asked why repeatedly. But there was no why or no answer to the why. It can drive you nuts if you dwell on that. I hear about Carter and all the effort his parents' are making to get him ready to deal with this is a lesson for us all. Like DHucks said, just ask what can I do? Not why do I have to do this? I think this is one of the reasons why Carter's story is so inspiring. We don't see a family defeated and feeling sorry for itself. We see a family doing what they can to face this thing head on. Can't wait to see Carter back on the sidelines next season. Maybe even on the sidelines of Duke's NFL team. Continue the prayers for Carter and his parents.
 
When I say what not why, it's what can be taken from the situation. Everyone will have something different, nonetheless, they have taken something away that hopefully makes their lives better.
 
So much hope and love sent to Carter, especially over the next couple of weeks.

Little man's an inspiration.
