No joke. Better grab double. I almost listed it as not safe for work cause it's definitely a tearjerker.lawgrad91 wrote:I posted this to my Facebook page, thought this morning that it needed to be posted here, and then forgot. Thanks for linking it.

Incredibly moving. He is quite a young man.

Re: No looking back for Duke's Nolan Smith
I read the entire article. Nolan is so mature and such a humble young man. For him to reach out to others that have lost a parent, is so comendable. While other young people, are getting into mischief or bullying others, Nolan Smith is mentoring young people and helping them through their pain. 
I think it is wonderful that Nolan wants to expand that support system after he graduates. Losing your Father at 8 years old, is along time to be without Dad.
I miss my Father every day. He has been deceased since 99. Attending Duke Football, and Basketball games, was something we did as a family. When people, ask me, how did you become such a Duke fan: my reply: "My Father raised me correctly!!"
Nolan, reaching out out to Quinn, had me in an array of tears. Great article!
