True courage is like a perfect diamond. So rare, almost impossible to find. However, stunningly beautifull when gazed upon. You are elite. A brave man. Magnanimus. Every wrestling coach in the world is honored by you. Thank you for for representing us and our beloved sport with decency, integrity, grit, and toughness. Youve changed lives for the better on and off the mat. I have only seen this type of bravery one other time, by your significant other. Your wife's courage and dedicated love have also been an inspiration. Selfless love for another human being. You both compliment eachother well. May the good lord smile upon you both.
