For a girl, there's no man comparable to her father. He's a hero in her eyes, a pillar of strength and love. For the two daughters of sports anchor Stuart Scott, the one-year anniversary of his death makes his important role in their lives even more apparent.
The legend's passing from a cancerous appendix made waves in the sports world, and for many fans of ESPN, he was a household name. But it's the sports anchor's two daughters, Sydni and Taelor, who remember him for the family man he was. In a video tribute, the sisters "write" him a touching love letter.
In #dearstuartscott, Sydni and Taelor reflect on the most important moments with their father, and what he was able to pass on before his death. They each have material reminders of him: for one, a necklace, for the other, an old camera and some photos. But it's the way Stuart lived his life — even with cancer — that impressed upon the girls the importance of strength and persistence.
He left the girls with this message: "When you die, it does not mean you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and the manner in which you live."
The girls say that they are lonely without their father, who was also a best friend. But with a presence and message like that, he is sure to have an everlasting strong presence in their lives.
