My Good Luck Charm

[Clanzomaelan]

Good Day All!

Some may be aware of some recent health issues I've been dealing with, and the outpouring of support from friends, and family has been nothing short of overwhelming. To that end...

The other day, I went to the door to find a FedEx Package waiting for me. I opened it, and found a card that was from my co-workers, and the following:


In the card is a note saying, "Cert of authenticity is on its way, and I have a newer one for you to wear if you're going to frame this one. Hope having this during your playoff run helps with your recuperation! Get well!"

A couple notes before I go further...

1. I'm pretty much a guy that doesn't generally like much attention. Walking in a public place is pretty uncomfortable for me at this point because I seem to attract a bunch of curious looks. Short of wearing a scarf, the scar (9") can't really be hidden. Getting this much attention over something like this, blows my mind. So for my teammates to think of me in this way is uncomfortable, yet pretty amazing.
2. I have owned exactly one jersey in my entire life... The prior jersey style, and it was Adrian Peterson. Needless to say, the jersey is pretty ugly, and I'm not a huge fan of wearing it at this point (I actually can't wear it, because I feel like it's a jinx...). So to have something like this is awesome!

This came from a guy that I work with that coached Diggs at Good Counsel (HS) in Maryland. He still has a relationship with him. I'm not exactly sure the background in him obtaining this, but rumor has it that he reached out to Diggs and informed him of my situation, who supplied him with the jersey. 

You'd be correct in assuming that Diggs is my new favorite Viking!

I've held off on sharing, but figure today is as good a day as any! The Jersey is at Michaels being framed in a Purple Matte over a Gold background... once complete (another week), I'll take a pic and share!

SKOL VIKINGS!
