We've probably seen the last of Nick Charles when he signed off on television for what is likely the last time after calling a featherweight fight on HBO. "Why am I doing this?" he told viewers. "To inspire others to do what they love." "I had a smile on my face all night," he says now. "I was on fire!"

| Charles Sharing A Special Time With His Daughter, Giovanna |
A little over a year and a half ago, Charles was diagnosed with incurable bladder cancer. Since that time, the once jet black hair announcer has realized that his days are numbered. He and his wife, Cory, a CNN producer, are now videotaping messages for his youngest daughter Giovanna. Messages that she'll be able to hear from her father when she reaches certain milestones in her life.
Charles is facing each day now with a determined resolve in that he "finally got his life right". I've linked the CNN story. It is a fairly long read, but one that we can all learn something from. What impacts me most is I know all of our days are numbered in some way or fashion.....And we will all not be as fortunate as Nick Charles will be in "signing off". If that's not a good message to leave family and friends with, what is? God bless you, Nick Charles.
