A reason to celebrate October

Despite all the drama he creates and any negative press that may come out about him, I am an avid Brett Favre supporter. I am a huge sports fan...and mostly of Wisconsin sports, so for 17 years, I sat in front of the television each Sunday or Monday anxiously awaiting to see what my favorite athlete of all time would do for the Green Bay Packers. And despite the fact that I love the Packers, I have had to learn to cheer for other teams when Brett decided to move onto different endeavors. But here's the kicker and biggest reason why I stick with him...even with all of the records for most touchdowns or games played, there is one thing I love most about him...his love of life and the game he was born to play. I admire that each game he comes out and plays it as if it's his last. He loves what he does and he puts his heart and soul into it. Sure, he doesn't make the smartest of decisions all the time, but who does? When you choose to follow your heart, sometimes logic doesn't play a role. I admire that about him, and I always will. So, this post is in honor of someone I can celebrate during my hardest month of the year. In the midst of my sorrow, I have found reasons to smile and cheer. Thanks to Brett. I owe him one for that. By the way, happy belated birthday, #4! You will always be #1 to me....and I have no doubt, to my daughter too....(pinky swear).
