]]> Comment on The Kids are All Right by Sean Cook http://higheredlifecoach.com/2010/02/19/the-kids-are-all-right/#comment-137 Sean Cook Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:37:00 +0000 http://higheredlifecoach.com/?p=379#comment-137 Hi Bob, I remember you. Man, it has been a long time. Thanks for reading and commenting. It's been almost a year since I wrote that post, and I've been getting updates from kids back at Penn State about Dance Marathon, which will be happening really soon. It's a time every year I spend thinking about Ashley and the impact that knowing him had on my life. When we were thinking of names for my son, I talked with my wife about naming him Ashley, since it is a good name and (in the South at least) also a good name for boys. But it is one of the most popular names for girls ever since Mary Kate and Ashley. We ended up naming him Brendan (my brother Aaron's middle name). But that will tell you the kind of impact Ashley had on me. His spirit endures in many who knew him. Hi Bob,

I, too, grew up in Clemson and Ashley was a friend of mine, as well. I remember walking into Edwards the morning he died and sensing how palpable the sadness was in the cafeteria. Even after all of these years I know I still grieve for the auburn-haired boy who was always smiling. He was, as you say, an inspiration and I have often wondered what he would have become had he had a chance to grow up like us. When my children, ages 3 and 1, are old enough, they will learn of Ashley and the challenges he endured and how he affected the lives, even decades later, of everyone who was fortunate enough to know him.
