This was a great post !!!!
It has been too long to mention since I was in the position this post speaks about but I can remember those feelings
as if they were yesterday. Playing Football is special and a treat that you will never forget.
As I have grown older I have really seen what playing Football is all about, I have seen kids grow to men, I have seen
young men learn good habits instead of bad, I have seen some finish their education who never would have if it were
not for Football, I have seen, more times than not, Football being better for someone than they could ever be for
Football.
I have a son who is still playing high school ball, I do not know how I or his mother will take it when he walks off the
field for the last time, I know it will be very hard for us.
As for the people who never get to or choose to experience the feelings, relationships, and lessons that this great
game teaches, I can only say I feel very sorry for them, they have a void that I personally feel will leave them much
worse than those who have played the greatest game ever invented, FOOTBALL.
