Cliff spoke to a sold-out EXIT Realty Convention in Nashville, Tennessee this morning...to a crowd of 2,000 +

Looking at all the pics on FaceBook (he has hundreds of "Followers")....and suddenly I'm wracked with sobs and all this salty discharge is coming out of my eyes!

Love you all for your support.  It was a monumental event for Cliff today.   He would come over to my condo once or twice a week and we'd reminisce and laugh so hard we cried.  He more than once whipped out his notebook and took notes....he said for his 50 minute 'talk'

Standing ovations...had the women AND men crying their eyes out!

I'm so proud of him.
Awesome DC....thanks for posting.

Aw gee, DC - you got me crying too!  Our lives sure do take twists and turns that we have trouble seeing where we're heading at the time - but retrospect shows us that no matter what life throws at us - we can triumph!

I'm so happy for Cliff!

Wow DC - I know you are a proud dad!  Who could have seen that Cliff would triumph over such a devastating life-changing accident?  So happy that prayers were answered - praise God!  This is awesome!

Wow DC I consider you a friend and had absolutely know idea that this had transpired and I just wandered into this thread.  You have every right to be tremendously proud and so should your son! Your son's story is truly amazing and very inspiring and certainly gives a message of courage and hope. Hugs.  Thanks for sharing;  I really needed to hear this story ...
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

As well you should be!

He is a strong, strong young man, and a reflection of his upbringing.

Well done, my friend!
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Beautiful, DC. As an avid golfer myself, I have to say the video of your son brought a tear to my eye.

Thank you, @mountaineer !

He hits it a ton from the tee. In Toronto, when they filmed this, one of the woman pros stopped and went under the ropes to watch him.  They were having a tournament that weekend. 

He's trying out for the 2020 Toyko Olympics.  And I've learned not to underestimate him.

VERY happy for both you and Cliff!  I hope he turns the world on it's ear!
