I am so happy for Kelvin, LJ Cryer, Milos, and all the Cougars…. basketball words are not adequate.
Kelvin said, “Sometimes you lose, but if you’ve given everything you do not lose. You stay the course with your inner faith, your belief in your own dogged soul, your family, and your real inner core friends.”
MJ would add it doesn’t hurt either if you take on the inner soul of a sled dog/wolf named Buck. It’s nice to have the soul of a dog on your heart on the journey. Trust me on that one.
So we get Kelvin’s Never Quit Cougars and Walter Clayton’s Never Say Die Gators on Championship Monday Night.
The problem is I might have two Shining Moment Champions on the same evening if you follow my drift.
On Friday afternoon after leaving the Red Cup Cafe, I headed over to the OKC Wellness Center and got on the terrain bike to see where my cellualr recovery was after the most recent chemo infusion. The room wasn’t as crowrded as normal as the cold, wet weather had already drifted into western Oklahoma City.
I then shattered my best previuos three mile time by a full minute. I cried. But it was a beautiful, joyous, cleansing cry.
One of my friends nearby asked, “Mike…are you okay?”
I answered, “Never better.”
Good luck on Monday Night, Kelvin.
Peace and eternal love.
