Fighting the Pain


Kicker Matt Bryan from NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced a fight this past Sunday he never thought he would ever have to do on a Football Field. Matt's greatest fight was not 350lb lineman, or super fast Linebackers. Matt had to fight the pain of losing his 3 month old son just 3 days prior to the game. Matt and his wife woke up Wednesday morning to find there son lifeless in his crib. I could not bear to hear this report on ESPN without shedding tears. My heart and prayers goes out to Matt and his family. Even more the respect that I have for Matt showing up to the game and putting up a performance that led his team to victory. He fought through pain to honor the life of his son, Matthew Tryson Bryant.

Guys, the next minute is never promised to us. Hug, kiss, speak, do whatever you can to the people you love, care about and let them know. John Mayer says it better "Say what you need to Say".

God bless you guys.
