we had a eighth grader he was a special boy he took his life a few weeks ago he was a football player and he was adored and our little town his brother was at a football game cuz his brother played football for the high school team they were all getting ready to go to the game his brother found out while he was on the field warming up all around our counties so not only our county but multiple counties in our area have worn his number on their helmets to recognize him and have his memory stay alive he was only 14 I think we should always keep these people's memories alive and these kids memories alive it's beautiful that your football team did that💕

MRHOTDOG11 :

We all need a friend like #50 !!!

I pray they do this every game especially home games because this momma needs it for sure.

That helmet tap had me sobbing 😭 what a sweet tribute to their friend/teammate.

debradeppe951 :

our babies shouldn't be out here dying, so sad no mother or father should outlive their babies ... I am outliving my beautiful son who would be 18 this next February... it is hard to do.

Momma Llama :

As a teacher who experienced something like this for the first time ever, in the first 3 weeks of school, my heart feels for you all! This was a hard thing to experience, especially when you have children the same age. Stay strong and always continue the fight for your teammate!

@countrymom1984 :

zoomie.time.frenchies :
