Now he is he backfield coach for Parkview High School, which has one of the winnings football programs in the country. When I contacted Steve recently to set up this article, he asked me if I remembered him. Here is what I wrote to him:<br> Coach Brooks, I have always held you in high esteem as a coach and as a man. But it is your example as a father that I cherish most about our acquaintance. I will always remember looking down at your son Craig in his crib when I stayed in your home. I was overcome and lifted by the Holy Spirit. <br>You see, at this same time I also had a son who was just a baby in a crib. My son, Mark, was healthy. Steve s son was born without eyes or an esophagus. In addition, Craig s brain was not fully functional nor would it ever be normal. It was suggested that Craig be placed under institutional care where he wasn t expected to live very long. Some even hinted at just letting little Craig pass on. However, to Steve and his wife Carol, their son was special and God s gift to them. Craig would be raised at home and be greatly loved. I was filled with emotion and gratitude for two things: First, for my son being healthy and second, for Steve s wonderful example. <br>On the recommendations of Dr. Charley Howell, Craig went through several operations and survived. Recently, Coach Brooks gave me an update and sent me a photo of his son. Craig will be 17 this June; my son Mark will turn 17 in July. Craig can hold hands with his dad and walk around the track. He smiles and can even say a few words. Steve credits his wife Carol as the one who has made Craig s life what it is today.  She has done all of the hard work, he said.  Craig s special ed teacher April has also been a true miracle worker. <br>As I looked at the photo and pondered over life s bigger picture, I reflected upon the importance ofgratitude
