I have been a Redskins fan for a long time. The old Redkins' days of glory will always live in me. I lost the interest to be a die hard for a while when we were a mediocre team and the NFL joke of early 2000's; while I still watched and attended games it was not with the same passion.
At that time I was going through a tough period with my relationship and finances were difficult so I was depressed with life, period. When Joe Gibbs came back I had tears in my eyes; old glory days excitment was back again. When Sean Taylor was drafted, from the first pre-season game I could tell he was going to be a very special player. Once again I had something to look forward to every Sunday to watch Joe Gibbs work his magic and Sean Taylor lay the wood on anything that moved.
During the tough times and down times it pulled me through, Joe and Sean gave me a reason to be happy again and I was so pumped to see him play win or lose. Next year I started a new career and had to deal with the ups and down of life, leaving my old life behind including my ex. Watching the Skins and Sean Taylor play on the field gave me something to look forward to every Sunday. My life is a lot more stable now, I am with a beautiful woman who loves me and am lucky to be with. My career and finances are thriving again. The sad part is now Sean Taylor is gone, I have a stable life but one of the two people that brought me joy during those tough times is now gone. For the first time, last season I bought a jersey (I was never a jersery type of a guy). As you guessed by now it is number 21.
RIP where ever you are Sean, you will always be in my heart and thank you for bringing joy in my life when hard times had consumed me. I never met you in person but I feel like you were part of my family and always will be.
Your biggest fan, always,
Me
