I think about death and legacy a lot, always wondering if I’m doing everything I can to help others, show my appreciation to them, and to be the best version of myself that I can. And the more and more I learn about and experience life, I realize it’s the little things you do that can effect someone else’s, often times a complete stranger’s, life in such a profound way.
Reading how this one time Junior Seau let a chubby high school kid, who wasn’t even sure if he liked football, pancake him and give him the confidence to grow and eventually become a lineman for the Saints is pretty inspiring and indicative of how Seau lived his life. Occasionally we lose a great one, and the outpouring of these types of stories about Seau are proof of it.
