Deshaun Watson's father dies

[CowboysDrew]

This, just lost my dad in June, losing an aunt or uncle is tough but a parent takes it up several notches. Still not been right and have crying spells often. My girls will go get mommy when they see me crying. It’s been tough to say the least.

I feel you. I'm not even 50 and lost my parents and uncle already. Lost one of my best friends to cancer last month and he was only 36. It sucks. Only way forward is through.

My condolences.

Thanks buddy, sorry to hear of your losses. Dad was with me for 60 years.

Im sorry to hear that man. It’s not easy for sure. My mother passed away on July 4th, and it is a difficult thing to overcome. Probably the most difficult thing that I’ve had to do.

She had advanced Alzheimer’s, among other things. I’ve been her primary caregiver for a few years and even knowing that she is much better off now, it still is a struggle.

My condolences.

That's tough. I'm sure the team will dedicate this game to his memory and Watson will play lights out.

I don't know how they do it. I saw the game Favre played after his father passed. He still managed to stay focused. I don't think I could do the same.

Thanks my man, so sorry to hear about your loss. You sound just like me, told everyone he is not suffering anymore, he is up in heaven, with his God after preaching and ministering down on earth longer than my 60 years on earth.

The sadder part is that the two were estranged.....I couldn't imagine not interracting or knowing my own son. He only saw his pops 5 times

I understand what you're going through. My father died of Alzheimer's several years ago. The hard part about having that disease is that you "lose" that person twice. The first time is when they don't know who you are anymore, and then the 2nd time is when you physically lose them (death). Alzheimer's is a horrible disease and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!! All my Dad's siblings had Alzheimer's too, so I get nervous that I might have that "gene". My deepest condolences to you @AsthmaField

Thank you. Yes it is beyond awful. You cannot know what it is like unless you’ve watched a loved one slowly succumb to the disease. I watched her go from suddenly starting to ask the same question twice, all the way to forgetting how to talk, and how to swallow food and drink. Watched her dwindle down to literal skin and bones, who could do absolutely nothing for herself.

Yet she always still smiled when she saw me. The worst part was that there was nobody who deserved it less than her. She was a sweet, sweet lady.

Anyway, yeah, I have to hope it wasn’t passed down to me as well. Thank you again.

Condolences to Watson, lost my father last November. Makes you think about your own mortality a little more.

With that said, perfect scenario for the Media types to get a riveting interview in Watson's "for his Dad" game.

Welp, our day is ruined tomorrow. DeShaun Watson will be motivated.

 

[RoboQB]

He barely knew his father. Media tries to steer everything.
Family is not the same for everyone. Some are more affected by losing a pet than a parent. Especially when you've seen the parent 5 times your whole life.

Saw this after the game. Surprised not mentioned alot during the broadcast unless I missed it.

Probably contributed to his poor play
