Every time I lose a family member, which has been far too often, I read this:
Sean Taylor was a family member.
Once a Redskin, always a Redskin.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

Damn. I thought I was done crying but I just watched the pre-game tribute to Sean Taylor and the waterworks began a little.

You could hear a pin drop in Texas Stadium during the moment of silence. Following that was a strong, supportive cheer.

My hats off to those in Texas Stadium.

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone

Geez, you guys have me tearing up again. Why is this so hard?

He was the only reason why I was confident when the D was on the field. The ONLY reason. I knew that he was the best player we had, probably the best player in the league, and IMO he would've been the greatest defensive player of all time. I just know he would've been. I love the Skins, I love football, and I loved Sean Taylor.

I'm just so heartbroken.

Damn, here come the tears some more. I shouldn't have to cry on my birthday, but here I am.

I had to work tonight in an office with no TV. I noticed NFL.com is carrying the stream of the game, just the 21 sticker brought tears to my eyes. Watching the game on sundayis going to be very hard.
