Our family has been through an emotional battle over the past few weeks:
Afu was complaining about sporadic calf pain over the last several weeks, so before we took our family trip to Greece we had him see a doctor that ordered x-rays and MRI.

We met with our Dr.’s this morning, we are encouraged by the results from the PET scan and MRI. They are as positive as they can be without clearly stating we are in remission or cancer free.
Standing on the opposite side of the field yesterday in that moment,

Hearing a lot of skepticism about taking a knee on the 1 yard line. Believe what you want, but it was the right thing to do. “7 more points” and “giving the backups a TD” is insignificant compared to the lesson of having class.... Which the world could use more of.

Feeling when RD. 9 of chemo is postponed til after New Years‼️Although Afu didn’t make blood counts, doc has cleared him for our Christmas trip. We had to dbl up a few Radiation treatments this week to finish up. Much needed break for his body, mind and ALL of US.

My heart goes out to ALL student athletes during this pandemic, but even more so to the walk-ons who don’t have the luxury of opting-out & having their scholarships stay intact! Opting out for a walk-on could possibly jeopardize their spot/position on the team.✊🏾

The life lessons learned through the game of football will never be given the credit it deserves. With all the Wins & losses, the good & bad, it gives us all a glimmer of hope that we can/will be better tomorrow! That is why I am forever indebted to this game!
