If you haven't read the harrowing magnum opus Royce Young wrote about his daughter, you really should. The TLDR version is that Royce, ESPN's beat writer for the Thunder, and his wife, Kerri, were expecting a second child. During the ultrasound – a time of excitement for most pregnancies – they not only learned the fetus was a girl, but also that she had a rare abnormality that assured she would never survive more than a few hours beyond birth. Royce tells the story of her death and birth (in that order) in a way that is equal parts heartbreaking and inspirational.
For me, it was a trip down memory lane.
