An excellent thread, and amazingly enough no jackasses have come on and written anything stupid to degrade it.

a true sherdog surprize!

i too have a newfound respect for the hammer!

Great story man!

I gotta admit i got kinda choked up after seeing the pics once i read the story.

You did a great job as a father to set all this up for your girl. Props.

And Matt Hamill is a class act too.

Sherdog should put this on the front page or something.

Great to see another side of MMA like this.

This is one of the most touching stories I have heard in a long time. You are a good father and Matt Hamill shows what a classy guy he is. I am happy for your daughter.

Your story is softening up every jerk here(me included) .

Thanks.

This is one of the best threads I've read in 6 years. Absolutely amazing story and sounds like a great experience for your daughter and the rest of the family. I've met Matt a couple times before, and this story just reaffirmed all my thoughts about him as a person.

Thanks for sharing.

BTW - Sweet av dude.
