The Gift: The Story of Taylor Bradford
E:60 tonight is going to be doing a special on Taylor Bradford tonight. I didn't know if it had been posted already or not, I didn't see anything, but I didn't know.

Anyway, it will be on ESPN tonight at 7:00.

Wipes tear away. Faith in humanity is restored for the day. There are still good people out there.

I can't imagine the Bradford's loss, but I can understand his feelings about that car.

That dude from Wisconsin is a saint.

Still teary-eyed.

Very cool story. The Bradford family seems special, and so does Jim Harris. I still remember hearing about that death, and the football game following. It was unlike any other Tiger game I've been to.

On a much less important note, it is pretty awesome to see Mr Bradford still decked head to toe in Tiger football clothes.

When you see things like this, it makes you wonder if those who commit evil acts ever think about all the pain and suffering their actions will cause others. It's tough to watch.

RE: The Gift: The Story of Taylor Bradford
Taylor Bradford has been on my heart and mind heavily all last week. Allow me to share.

As I turned on to Zack Curlin on my way to the Highland Hundred meeting last week, I was almost blinded by the sight of the tree where his life ended, totally ablaze in the setting sun, with a huge red-orange bow on its trunk. What made it a surreal and spiritual sight was the fact that every tree anywhere around it was still completely green.

I'm sure many others noticed it, too, but it touched me deeply. I took it as a good omen and Taylor letting us know he is in the loving arms of God.

Just watched it on DVR as I taped it the other night and I'd be lying if I said I didn't have tears in my eyes.
