Joe Gibbs' Grandson Battling Leukemia

I have not seen this in any DC papers or heard it on any DC news channels. This is the kind of story George Michael would be all over and he hasnt said anything that I have heard. I'm not sure this is true.

We wouldn't be human if we were not sad at the appropriate times and did not mourn our tragic losses...

We would't be "normal" if we did not have life conflicts and disagreements and rivalries.....

Discord is a part of life and dislike it though we may, we accept that it is an often unavoidable, dishearteningly unpalatable, occurrence.

We have lost the lives of Bobby Hamilton and Kathryn Helton. We mourn.

We have learned that Joe Gibbs has a relative battling a form of leukemia and that man will begin treatment as soon as possible. We pray for his recovery.

We have witnessed the unfortunate conflict in the relationship and contract negotiations between Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Teresa Earnhardt. We regret and hope for resolution.

I heard it first on Tony Stewart's radio show on Sirius 128 there will be two more replays this week, one is a half hour spot at 7:00 AM Saturday and the second at is the full show 8:00 PM on Saturday if anyone on the board has Sirius and wishes to confirm. He mentions it right near the beginning of the show...I say again, why would he lie about something like that?

I'm not saying anyone's lying about anything but I just find it very odd that the DC media has not picked up this story. I hope everything works out best for the Gibbs family.

Joe may have asked that it be kept quite, I did noticed right after he mentioned it, that Tony kind-of shut up about it real quick like he'd said something he should not have.

Thoughts and prayers with Joe Gibbs and his family.

NASCAR.COM - Gibbs' toughest fight is off the track with child - Jan 24, 2007 (http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/headlines/cup/01/24/jgibbs.jdgibbs.grandson.leukemia/index.html)my understanding its in it,s early stages and can be done with treatments..

I'll listen to the replay again this weekend and try to clarify if it's JD or his son. If it's JD's son, that would explain why there would be very little publicity regarding the situation as I would imagine that the poor kid is still very young.

Either way its a sh**ty disease and I pray for him and his family.

my senior year of high school,we had a classmate named sherry jarrett that beeen diagionsed with this awful disease.we dedictaed the annual to her,and 2 months after we graduated,this sweet loving honors student passed away!
it still hurts today after 26 years!i hope coach gibbs son beats this thing.they have made huge medical leaps in curing this disease,maybe he'll beat this thing.if the skins do'nt win another game,and his son survives,i could live with that!

from tony,s radio show............

yeah I listened to the rebroadcast this weekend and confirmed it is JD's son....even though it is treatable, the treatments are almost as bad as the disease...poor kid. :(
