The August 2015 staff of UNC Children’s Hospital Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and pediatric cardiology, who saved Todd’s life and got him and his parents through an otherwise unbearable situation with their professionalism and care. Dr. Nathan Sison, who in his years of follow-up care reminded Todd that he was stronger and braver than he knew. Caroline Luther, Robert Greenberg, Daryl Feldman and Dr. Kenny Moles of the Hawbridge School, who from the start of school, five days following Todd’s final months long hospitalization, embraced Todd, shepherding him through some of the hardest times of a young person’s life, especially Ms. Luther and Mr. Greenberg for inspiring Todd and helping him find joy. Caryn’s 2001 UNC Law classmates, attorneys Julia Dixon, Leslie Hickman Loucks and Stephen Painter, without contact Louise Beck Properties whom Caryn would have brought Todd into this world alone. They were at the hospital when he was born, helped Caryn run a marathon and study and pass the North Carolina bar exam on her first try as a single parent with a two-month old at home. They turned the bushes in front of Caryn and a Todd’s house into a giving tree that produced boxes of baby equipment, clothes and gift cards left by the mail carrier from them. Even when requesting a rent extension, before beginning work after Todd’s birth, Caryn discovered it had been paid, an act which to this day provokes tears that three working first year associates in different states could be so kind.

It truly takes a village and each of these individuals have shown that when you live your life with love in your heart, you cast a light that shines on others and they are better for having known you. We thank them  and this community this new year for having made our son’s success possible. We don’t know how far he will    go, but we do know from whence he came.

Brandon Robinson was in the UNC basketball locker room when he first heard the news. Before Monday’s 70-67 win against Yale, Robinson was relaxing with his teammates when his eyes flickered toward the flatscreen. There, scrolling on the ESPN ticker, was the only thing anyone would want to talk about six hours later. With a win against the Bulldogs, the blurb read, head coach Roy Williams would match his mentor Dean Smith in career victories with 879, good for fourth-most all-time.
