Ol girls mom which I consider my mom is in the hospital for toxic colitis and concern for infection. Her WBCs are high and she had/has some bleeding. She just finished her last chemo (hopefully) radiation finished as well for lung cancer. Chemo has some powerful side effects. We are rotating 4 of us in shifts to the hospital so today I get the earlier shift that will have me home before the game starts. Good time to post this as everyone is asleep, so I don't have to be just girlish on the inside I can throw some stress tears and wipe them clean before anyone wakes up. Most of her hair has fallen out and with the trip to the hospital she said she felt defeated. We don't know the outcome but it got to me her frame of mind. Of course we all reassured her that it was just a temporary setback. She has been the mother that a few weren't. (was adopted from Germany)
Anyways,
hopefully today's outcome is a positive one. It also will be worth keeping an eye on Houston if they pull any starters. Hopefully they just focus in on winning.
You want to win in life. You want to beat your fight. Games... cancer, whatever the opponent is.
It is why we play the game, it is the point. We don't play to lose that is a losers mentality. Our team didn't win six SBs with a losers mentality.
All those families that relocated from Pittsburgh didn't watch the Steelers because they had a losers mentality. They watched because the Steelers brought them hope. A ray of sunshine in hard times.
So Steelers if it is the last game of the year, or maybe it isn't the finale.
Either way......
just win.
