What is toughness...Heart attack, stroke, coma, paralyzed right side, not able to speak/understand, 1/3rd of brain lost to permanent brain damage, but when life support taken off...live for 5 more days. That’s my Mom! That’s toughness! Thanks mom, we will miss you! Love you! ❤️

With a heavy heart I lost my biggest role model of my life this morning. Dad taught me so much about work ethic, respect, and never giving up. The only joy right now is that he’s where he wanted to be, holding hands with mom again. Something he missed so much! #love you pops

This is not me really reaching out to my extended basketball family but if you could please say a prayer for my mother. She suffered a massive heart attack last night and needs some thoughts and prayers.

@NBSaphierMD I’m sorry Nicole but your data is wrong. I’m an educator and teach young adults for 20+ years. The data has stayed same 1 unintentional injury 2 homicide 3 suicide 4 cancer (NVSS - CDC) Car crashes/accidents make up the largest group ages 15-24 and have for years.
