Hero's

I have been wondering when we would see a note from you! Glad to hear you are up and about and able to take nourishment! Joe, you are my Hero! What a thunderous hit you took! Will you be Alex's agent when he goes pro?  The Bears could use a guy like him! You know, the kind that is big and strong, fierce and mighty. The kind that eats pig's eyes, ribs, hind legs etc! (you will probably make sure he signs with the Jets!) 

You were kind enough to to sacrifice yourself for the team, took one for the the gypper, gave of yourself.  You have been very giving all your life and why not let the kid take you out? You stood up to the challenge, accepted what that young man gave you and walked off the field under your own power,and gave him a ride home!  No, you were not about to let that boy see you stay down. No sir, you got up, peeled yourself off the floor and walked off under your own power.  How many men do you know that would have done just that? Not only Joe, did you fight the fight, you took the hit turned, walked and drove on! You are a man among men. Stand tall Joe Nichols, you manly man, you! You are a fine man, a great husband and father of 6 wonderful children. You are a pillar of the community,  steadfast in the face of adversity. 

Life has dealt you a wonderful hand and so what if you have a bump in the road? And you know Joe, those bones will heal just in time for football season.  You can probably get out there right after school gets out and help coach Alex on his technique so that the next time he runs down a poor unsuspecting Uncle like you Joe,  you'll know which way to turn..........best of health to you Joe. May you have a speedy recovery. I know the kids can't wait to see you out and about!

isn't that right Joe?
