What a week it has been. Our kids will one day be studying this week in history books and writing reports on what it all meant when Confederate flags came down and gay people had the legal right to get married to someone they love. It might all feel routine right now, but one day you’ll be watching the nightly news with your grandkids and footage will come on showing gay people going nuts on the steps of the Supreme Court. It’s heavy stuff right now.
Hopefully BC has been able to keep things light while the world seems like a messed up place filled with rage. That’s what the goal has always been; I used to be like you. I worked at a job I hated. BC was my outlet, too.
That brings me to the little boy singing Rocky Top to Peyton Manning. That four-year-old is A.J. Cucksey. He has an inoperable brain tumor that will eventually take his life. But he’s still smiling and happy. Someone once reminded me of the simple thought that we’re not guaranteed tomorrow. Be happy a little bit. Don’t waste so much time being angry.
That’s it. No more preaching.
“You always hear the phrase ‘cut from a different cloth’. Well, he’s cut from a different cloth. You don’t see a lot of adults that endure what he’s endured,” says his father, John Cucksey.
Keep on singing, A.J. Maybe you’ll make one angry person out there smile for a minute.
