September 11th is a special day for us all. It especially means alot to me for 2 reasons. One for the obvious reason and secondly for that fact that this is the day I lost my Dad 2 years ago.
I want to talk for a few minutes on some things that's not College football related. I think most of you know me as a straight forward individual who wears his heart on his sleeve at times. I wont dis agree with that, but I think that's what makes me be me. I think most people like the things I say because I am genuine . When I spend time on here writing things like " The Ten Things We Learned ". I do it because I feel like a give a honest and open opinion on what we all see from week to week. I do what I do on here and say the things I say on here because I'm a emotional person. I give my honest opinion on things and I think people respect that.
But there are somethings that are just WAY more important in life then college football. I want to take a few minutes to express how September 11th not only changed my life, but changed millions of Americans. Family is the most important thing to me. My Faith, Family and life in general are the things in life we should all embrace everyday. We should always put these things first in our lives. I encourage everyone of you to make sure you Love your Mother, love your father, love brothers and sisters, Kids and cousins. Make sure you hug your children every day and tell them you love them. These are the most important things in life, not football, baseball or basketball. I say it all the time, Money means nothing to me. I can make all the money in the world and it just simply cant make me happy. I cherish my family and time more then anything as should you guys as well.
I say all this because I remember where I was the day the planes hit the towers. I remember how empty I felt. I remember crying as I watched innocent people jump from burning buildings and plunge to their deaths. I remember feeling lost and confused. Now imagine how the family's felt. Imagine if it was someone you loved. I also remember how unified we felt for a few months there. You guys remember that? There were no arguments, no fighting and most importantly there were was not one car not flying the American Flag. United we were. I knew from that day on I would never be the same. Every morning I tell my wife and kids I love them because that is whats important in life. So no matter what religion, race or nationality you are.....stop a minute and remember the ones that died that day. They deserve our respect.
I'm writing this in tribute to all the September 11th victims. So Please no rude comments.
To end this I want to say this. I'm PROUD to be an American. I love my family and miss the ones that are gone. But I will never forget this day as it changed my life and so many others.
Thanks for listening
