Vaya Con Dios, Brett!

One more post today about Brett. After a long day, I've had a chance to really think about all of this. I'm still sad. In a way I feel like someone just died. Yet I know that Brett really is just starting to live. Yeh, the NFL and the Packer organization were really good to and for Brett for a long time (and he was equally good to and for us), but this will start a whole new chapter in his life. He's going to be able to spend time with his wife and daughters. He's healthy and can do fun things with them yet. He'll continue to do great things through his Brett Favre Fourward Foundation. So ultimately I'm really happy for him. But man am I going to miss him!!! Coach McCarthy said today that we won't see Brett coming out from behind the fence (around his house) much at all. I guess that's what makes me really sad. Yet, who can blame him??

I don't think that there's much truth to what Brett's agent said about Brett feeling like the Packers didn't really want him. I haven' t heard that in any other report today. So I'm going to, at least for right now, choose to believe that the mental stress of preparing day in and day out for his role on the Green Bay Packer team was just too much. And who can blame him for that???

So Brett...vaya con dios (go with God). I'll miss you. Wisconsin will miss you. Sports fans everywhere will miss you! (OK...so I know Brett won't be reading this, but it helps me get through a sad time.)

Oh...one good note (I don't think I posted this today...I can't remember for sure): my nephew Andrew called me from Germany today. It was so great to hear from him. He's doing great over there although he hasn't seen the sun come out for a couple of weeks now and that's getting a little depressing. Plus, he's s bit bored as he hasn't really started training yet.

Time to get Hope and I ready for bed. Good night everyone. Thanks for reading my blubbering thoughts.
