[Sending an SOS]

This is just a great group of folks on this board, and thank you for the support. I laid my Dad to rest today, and it was tough for my family. But to see the outpouring of support from total strangers is heartwarming. I went to the LSU game yesterday with low expectations, but when I listened to the alma mater after a thrilling win, I had tears in my eyes. I was happy for a Gamecock win, but I feel like the electric crowd was a little quieter without my Father in the stands. Today, at the funeral my family told Gamecock stories - stories from my childhood that I will never forget. I hope that one day I will get to witness things that he never got to see, and even though I’m not always happy with the state of our program, I will be as loyal as he was for the 73 years of his life…

Well, I’m not usually that guy, but I’m in need of prayers.

My Father is one heckuva Gamecock fan. I remember as a kid sitting in Section 9 being embarrassed by him while he yelled on every single play (always in Gamecocks favor). He danced, yelled, chanted…even got on TV a few times.

But now he’s fighting for his life. COVID has left him pretty lifeless. He was an overactive and healthy 73 year old who is now clinging to life on a ventilator. He chose not to get the vaccine - his choice, but one I disagreed with. He’s in the ICU on a ventilator, and I need prayers that he can get off the vent and breathe on his own. He’s got an uphill battle either way, but this will help.

There’s nothing worse than seeing an extremely vocal Gamecock fan being totally incapacitated and unable to talk.

I’m heartbroken but still holding onto hope. I am a Gamecock as is he…battle tested.
