TO THE EDITOR:
I thought Brendan Marks’ latest article, “The Quest to Find Peace” was worthy of a letter to the editor. I thought this article was fabulous.
I will think of Brice Johnson differently now having read this article. Sure, I will still love that he is a great Tar Heel player, I’ll like the fact that he’s a good kid on and off the court, and I’ll hope he can help bring home another championship. But there will be increased respect and empathy. When he points toward the sky after a monster dunk or when he thumbs out his No. 11 jersey after a blocked shot, I’ll know that gesture is not for all of us, but for his No. 1 fan.
Brice’s mom is looking down on him, and she is smiling wide with love and pride. I hope Brice continues to feel that undying love and continues to make his momma proud well beyond his years at UNC.
