As much as I've coached the pro football quarterback to believe he always has a choice, this time I'm the one backed into a corner.
My biggest fears have come true. I'm an adult living with my parents as I contemplate my future. I've given up everything to make the ultimate sacrifice, but at some point I need to put what happened behind me.
It's time to imagine new dreams, create new goals, and cheer for touchdowns that aren't scored by Jack Dalton.
Maybe then I can pick up the pieces I left behind.
