@fji.law is glad to stand alongside those who have the moral clarity and fortitude to call out injustices when callous cruelty seems to be en vogue by those in power.
Thank you, Dave, for your integrity and leadership. (3/3)

🧵 (1/3) Dave Lawrence is a legendary figure in #Miami who earns admiration and respect from everyone he encounters. The true measure of a man is the impact he's made on others.
That's why I joined hundreds of other leaders for a reception in his honor this afternoon at @loandepotpark.bsky.social.

5 tackles and 1 game-sealing interception later, my son took home the @maxpreps.bsky.social Defensive Player of the Game in the state title tilt!
The Langley men now have a title ring apiece! I hope you're watching for more secondary help in the Class of '27, @canesfootball.bsky.social! #BadassDBs

Still on Cloud 9 after yesterday's state title win.
This is what I texted him after the game...
"Son: I can't tell you how immeasurably proud I am of everything you and your teammates accomplished this season. You'll remember this moment forever. Congratulations! Love you!"
My heart is so full!

Before this season, my son told me that his football team had a good chance of playing for the state championship. And, here we are.
Both teams dominated an opponent who derailed an undefeated campaign for their only loss the year before.
The mission is clear: End business trip with a win. (2/2)

🧵 (1/2) #FBF: I distinctly remember a teammate telling me he already made his travel arrangements because he knew we'd be playing in the national championship after our first @canesfootball.bsky.social game in 2001.
He, indeed, was prophetic in that prediction.
We won 37-14 on January 3rd, 2002.

🧵 (1/2) When we're young, it seems cliché to go around talking about the things for which we're thankful.
As an adult, I've realized that not only is it not cliché, not much has changed.
I'm thankful for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

For 17 years, I’ve simply wanted to be a guiding inspiration as you’ve grown. But, you continue to inspire me daily as it turns out. I can’t tell you how immeasurably proud of the young man you’ve become.
Happy Birthday, Michael. Love you, my son. (4/4)

So much so that my first instinct was to sit him down for the season so he could fully heal. I felt like I needed to protect him from himself.
I was met with fierce resistance.
When we’re young, we always feel like we’re invincible.
In short, he ended up playing. (2/4)

🧵 (1/4) I’m going to be vulnerable here for a moment. Please indulge me.
Last year, I learned that my son got injured during a voluntary football practice that resulted in a deep gash on his head. As a former football player, I’m aware of the dangers associated with head injuries.

🧵 (1/2) Yesterday, I did something I don't often get to do: Take a walk. While I explored, I encountered this sign in front of a local house of worship.
As someone who grew up in the church, I found it especially poignant for the current environment. A powerful reminder for this very moment.
