It was excruciatingly sad watching Junior Seau's mom address the media; she was devastated by the news that her son had just committed suicide. Where does one find peace at a time like that?
The news here in San Diego about the tragedy reached both near and far, affecting those close to him, as well as those who barely knew him. I still remember being in Europe at the time of the Chargers Super Bowl season and having to stop and get a USA Today each week, just so I could read up on how the Charger season was going. I'm only a casual observer, so compared to one who played the game and played it extremely well, maybe the best at his position, it must have been a hard thing transitioning out of football the past two years. Football was everything to him.
Yes, Junior has his Foundation, and philanthropic venues that outlive him and his legacy, but he will always be remembered for his Thor-like, lighting fist pounding, after a great play.
May we all pray for his family, friends and everyone he has, and has yet to touch through his life...and death.
