This was a weekend like none other in my life.
On Saturday morning, I had to let go of my buddy of nearly 15 years, my chatboard namesake, Dukie. Dukie has been a great companion, loyal, playful, athletic. He gave all he could, but his body and mind just were giving out on hi.m I was right with him all the way, until he left peacefully and painlessly. It was (and is) very difficult. Dukie's pic is my avatar.
I needed what the Steelers gave us all on Sunday. That was a great game and a great victory. It was a mirror image of most of our wins this year, physical, gritty, close messy, heroic. It was sweet. And it really lifted me when I really needed to be lifted up.
I am really thankful for Dukie Dog, and for the Steelers, and all that they have given. Dukie was more than just a dog. And Steeler football is more than just a game ... we in Steeler Nation know this to be true.
And I am really quite exhausted today. Thanks for reading.
