An Unforgettable Season
I just finished reading ch 18 "An Unforgettable Season" in Quiet Strength. This is the chapter in which Tony Dungy shares his experiences regarding the loss of his son Jamie. Jamie took his own life at the age of 18 for reasons that are unknown. The story brought tears to my eyes and made me realize that many people secretly struggle with feelings of hopelessness and depression. In fact, it is especially common during adolescence, and high school is a very challenging time for many people. I personally haven't had to experience the loss of a close family member, but I feel that the family handled it in a very inspirational and positive manner. The Dungy family chose to celebrate Jamie's life rather than morn his passing. For me this was the most moving and easiest chapter to read in the book.
