Broken Heart

The first of this week my heart was broken. I knew the time was coming - in fact, I thought it was going to happen a couple of years ago. However, it didn't and things got better - much better. Then, out of the blue, when I wasn't expecting it - wham! I don't think I will ever be the same.

No, my husband hasn't left me, and nothing has happened to either of the "fat daschunds". So what, you may ask, has broken my heart? Brett Farve retired! I know you probably don't understand. However, I am a HUGE football freak and have been a Brett fan FOREVER !! Win - lose- didn't matter - I just needed to see "my boy". My husband has said many times that I would leave him in an instant for "my" Brett - and while I always said he was exaggerating I'm glad that I was never put to the test.

Now I don't know what I will do - there are a lot of "pretty boys" out there - Tony Romo, Tom Brady - YUCK! Where are the boys who love to play football - the boys who play because they love the sport - not the huge paycheck or the publicity! Brett played because he loved to play - he ran around the field like a five year old - so excited about a touchdown - or a play. I'm sure he loved his paycheck, but that was not his main reason for playing. He played because he love the game - you could see it when he slapped an official on the butt as he was leaving the field after a completed a pass that resulted in a touchdown - or when he was on the side line kidding around behind the back of one of his coaches. Brett just loved the game. Sure there were days when he made mistakes, but he never gave up - he played every week and played with his heart - not his wallet.

He has gone through many hardships on and off the field in the last couple of years and I respect how he handled each one with dignity. While he decision has broken my heart I understand his decision. Brett - I wish you all the best. I can always hope to see you in some way next football season - maybe as a commentator?? There is always hope.

P.S. If you are ever looking for an older woman give me a call, but I hope you like daschunds!!
