Eric LeGrand wrote a letter to his mom, five years after his injury. Is someone cutting onions in here??? That must be it.
Read the whole thing, but here are a few excerpts:
You would sacrifice anything for your kids. As a young boy, I learned about committing myself to something and seeing it through from you. I loved to hang out with my friends after school and play in the park, but I was also signed up for Pop Warner football. Honestly, I always thought I was too good for practice and only had to show up on a game day.
