On game days, I could be in the worst mood imagiable-a really bad mood. But sometimes, I’d get a call from the Make-A-Wish Foundation-there would be people, sometimes kids, who anted to meet me before they died. And the foundation would call on a game day and say, “There’s kid dying here whose last wish is to see you. Can you just come and see him?” I’d get there and sometimes the kid would be comatose. One day, a kid woke up for a split second and smiled at me. I was told he’d been hanging on. The mom and dad called me later and said, “I don’t know what yu did to him, but those few moments were wonderful.” And I cried all the way to the game, just cried my eyes out.It’s very scary. It’s uplifting, too, but so scary. And then… I’m bitching because my breakfast is cold?
