I won't get that back. Is it the greatest tragedy to have befallen someone? Nowhere close but it still makes me sad. But knowing that there's a chance it could be like it was when I was a kid means everything to me.

When my daughter was born in 08. We were given redskin onesies and a sweatshirt at the baby shower. I have pictures of her sitting with me up until she was about 4-5 watching games wearing Skins stuff.

One time my wife's best friend was visiting from Philly and I watched her son, who was a few months older than my daughter, and my daughter while they went to run a race and brunch. The Eagles were playing the Skins that day so I put her son in the Redskins sweatshirt and took pictures sending it to all of her family up in Philadelphia.

It felt right and it felt like we were going to have this silly bond of watching a sports team but it was so tough to keep following them every weekend and now she could care less about football.

My son likes football but like most kids his age follows players and not teams but we will watch some of the Ravens together but it is not the same just something we can do and I can teach him about the game. Perhaps he will look on those moments and feel like they were important but it isn't the same as when my daughter and I were gearing up together, by the time he was born I just didn't watch full games much anymore.
