So tragic, young lad taken way too soon. The grace and strength in which the Carr family handled this was incredible. Creating the Chad Tough foundation and making every last moment of the young boy's life meaningful is inspirational.
While others would be paralyzed with greif and fear, this family did right by their son and all victims of cancer present and future. Make every moment count!
Godspeed,

We knew this news was coming but it is just so sad. I hope his family somehow finds peace.

Tears running down my face as I pray for the Carr family. As a dad of 3 and a man of faith, I pray for peace, understanding, and strength for the Carr family. Today, Chad is restored. He is whole and he sits with our savior.

When I saw this, the first thing I saw (without seeing the title) was the '100% worst thing ever' tagline which, as we all know, was deployed early and often in 2014 for reasons almost entirely relating to the football team. And so, for a split second, my heart leapt up to my throat as I wondered who amongst Peppers, Lewis, Chesson, etc. was injured prior to the OSU game or whatnot. Then I saw the actual post title and my heart sank to the very depths of my gullet.
It goes without saying that this use of the '100% worst thing ever' completely overshadows every other instance of the tag, combined. That we'd all made our peace with the cold knowledge of Chad Carr's worsening condition didn't help much to soften the blow. It's gives one pause to think of how we all check MGoBlog daily (and obsessively) to chroncle the ups and downs of our favorite team and how to see the news today brings us back to how trivial it all is next to the Carr family's ordeal. Yes, sure, certainly, I hope we win Saturday but we'd all give up this and all future wins in a heartbeat if it could somehow guarantee that no parent would ever have to bury their 5-year old child.

That is one devastating photo. My heart goes out to the Carr family - my wife is a '99 RN specializing in Pediatric Oncology and has seen this bastard of a disease firsthand; it's one of the worst pediatric cancers there are. RIP Chad hell of a fight you put up.

I'm not really the religious type, but my guess is that God has saved Chad a front row seat for Saturday's game.

I have to hold off tears every time I see that photo. Looks just like my son at that same age.
I do firmly believe that Chad is in an awesome place right now, without pain and with incredible joy.
My deepest sympathies go out to the Carr family.

On news like this, everything else suddenly fades into utter insignificance.

Just looking at that picture makes me start to cry. That poor family. And not to take anything away from the Carr family but you know this is happening all over the world with other kids too without the publicity. But you just don't even think about all those since it isn't in the news like Chad. Rest in peace kid. Prayers to the family. 100% worst thing ever indeed.

painfull than this for the Carr family I am so sorry for their loss. I took my son to AA when he was 7 or 8 and we saw coach Carr in the parking lot, I pointed him out and he saw me and my boy and I swear I have never seen a more geniune smile from an adult, he glowed at us a boy and his dad just snooping around looking for anything to do with the team. At that moment he became my favorite coach. I am so sorry and wish only the best for this fine family.

I don't have words for these types of things. So I give all my love, all my thoughts and all my prayers. I wish I could give so much more.
Rest in peace, Chad.

I read about tragic children death too often and don't get overly emotional, but this one especially hurts because we all have been following Chad's story for so long.
I lost it this afternoon when I read the tweet at lunch.
RIP Chad.
Go Blue.

at the photo for too long. So much sadness.
Having seen it today at work, tonight I let my 1.5 and 3.5 year old sons stay up past their bedtime so we could wrestle and play a bit longer than usual.

I've personally had 3 family members succumb to this dreaded disease but at least they'd lived past 40. Seeing it happen to a child is unbearable. Prayers to the Carr family and the entire Michigan family as well. Forever #chadtough

Looking at the picture again, I just noticed for the first time the tear running down the father's cheek. What a horrible thing to have to experience.
