Death is never something we look forward to, but why does it seem to hit so much around the holidays? I lost both my parents in november, 2 months apart. My Dad is the reason I am a lifelong Cowboys fan. It kills me knowing his last game was a trouncing by the Eagles in 2011. However, the day he passed, the Boys sent him to Heaven happy. My mom passed a week before Thanksgiving in 2013. Thanksgiving was always my favorite holiday......food, family, and football, Dallas and the Horns playing that turncoat Texas school. Damn, I miss them. I know it probably makes me a wuss, but I don't care. I cry from time to time when I think about them. Ever since my Dad died, I get choked up at the National Anthem. I think about all he sacrificed in Vietnam, for myself and everyone. It gives me chills and a lump in my throat.
Emmitt is my all-time favorite player. I wish him and his family nothing but the Lord's love and strength. TY, Mrs. Smith for sharing your son with all of us. GOD BLESS YOU and Rest in peace.
