Want stuff to be in perspective again? Like Bob Costas I cannot stand the following phrases...."that really puts things in perspective" and...."He/She died doing what they loved". Bullshit. If things aren't already in perspective for you, you're lost. And nobody dies doing what they loved because nobody loves plunging in a plane to the ground or smashing into tree while skiing or smashing into the ground after your parachute fails to open. Please stop!
The children pictured above are Isaiah Casillas and his buddy Jack Hoffman. Both boys have cancer, brain cancer to be exact. Rex Burkhead, a running back for the University of Nebraska, has befriended Jack and that 22 jersey is Jack's pride and joy as it came from Rex himself, his hero.
Last September, Jack got lead the Husker team onto the field before the first Wisconsin game and wanted his buddy Isaiah to help him out. Rex Burkhead led 7 year old Jack onto the field and receiver Quincy Enunwa led Isaiah out onto the field. They had a ball, and it "really put things in perspective" to see this scene.
Isaiah died over the weekend. He was 6 years old.
