Holy sh#t, that was beautiful. With a little editing that could well
be my new toast, or maybe I'll save it for my funeral (hopefully quite
some time from now).
We all know death possible in our game. Nonetheless, we endure. Our
loved ones know the possibilities, but they allow us our crazy assed
efforts to win, because they know it's part of who we are.
So pull on the nomex, pay homage to our brethren, clash shields and
move on
