Gary Carter , always referred to as "the kid" , lost his brave fight to brain cancer this past week and died at the age of 57. What can you say? Carter was a Hall of Fame catcher and one of the greatest at his position to ever play the game. He did it all !
To me, of greater significance was the way he lived his life. He lost one of his parents at a very young age and vowed to and did live his life in an upbeat , happy , gregarious way .Those who knew him always pondered, " how can he be this happy every day"? His smile was infectious, his personality oversized. He simply acted like a kid.
Gary had it all. Fame, money, good looks and happiness . In one fell swoop he lost it all to a horrible, decimating illness .
I'm sure right now Gary is looking down on us and boldly offering us the advice which helped him to be the man he became ........"Live every minute, every hour and every day to its fullest "! You will never have any regrets .
Believe it or not a smile just crossed my face as I finished this blog.
