Good Thursday to you Steelers fans.
I have dreaded this day and I have hoped for this day. My feelings certainly can’t compare to those of Ryan Shazier himself but my emotions have been all over the place when thinking about him. Like you, I still remember the December evening in Cincinnati that changed his life and I still get the same feeling in my gut. As Ryan made his miraculous recovery we marveled at how far he was coming. But I was also terrified that he kept talking about playing football again. I was worried that if returned something even worse could happen and I kept thinking about the family he was just starting.
