Tell your players and the people you work with how much they mean to you today!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck to everyone this weekend.

 

In memory of all those who perished this morning; the passengers and the pilots on the United Air and AA flights, the workers in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and all the innocent bystanders. Our prayers go out to the friends and families of the deceased.

 

 

IF I KNEW

 

If I knew it would be the last time

That I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly

and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

 

If I knew it would be the last time

that I see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss

and call you back for one more.

 

If I knew it would be the last time

I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,

I would video tape each action and word,

so I could play them back day after day.

 

If I knew it would be the last time,

I could spare an extra minute

to stop and say "I love you,"

instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

 

If I knew it would be the last time

I would be there to share your day,

Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,

so I can let just this one slip away.

 

For surely there's always tomorrow

to make up for an oversight,

and we always get a second chance

to make everything just right.

 

There will always be another day

to say "I love you,"

And certainly there's another chance

to say our "Anything I can do?"

 

But just in case I might be wrong,

and today is all I get,

I'd like to say how much I love you

and I hope we never forget.

 

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,

young or old alike,

And today may be the last chance

you get to hold your loved one tight.

 

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,

why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes,

you'll surely regret the day,

 

That you didn't take that extra time

for a smile, a hug, or a kiss

and you were too busy to grant someone,

what turned out to be their one last wish.

 

So hold your loved ones close today,

and whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you love them

and that you'll always hold them dear

 

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"

"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."

And if tomorrow never comes,

you'll have no regrets about today.

Bill,

 

Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna give my three kids and my wife an extra hug and kiss and "I Love You's" before I walk out the door today to go to work.

 

My son is an "a" student; never gets in trouble; is gentle (no, that's not a bad word for a guy) and loves people; wakes up in the morning whistling and smiling and saying goofy stuff AND last night I spent the whole ride home from his 7th grade ballgame fussing at him because he's not "mean/agressive" enough. What's wrong with this picture? I'M AN IDIOT SOMETIMES !!!

 

Thanks for reminding me once again what's really important and what isn't.

It's easy to forget that football is just a game. There's so many other things that matter so much more. Thanks Bill.

 

Govman, I think all Dad's do that....it's ok. Just tell him you love him, like you said.

Your welcome. Maybe it does belong here.

We all need a break now and then from football to concentrate on what's REAL. A 15-0 season would be wonderful, but what will it matter 25 years from now? Home and loved ones often get put on the back burner this time of year. Don't forget to show em you care guys thumb
