“Playing Precisely, Brees Answers Critics”

“The picture at the end said what none of them could voice. There stood Brees, surrounded by hundreds of people, but paying attention to only one. He held his son and watched him paw at the confetti, and at that moment, Brees said he was cognizant of his life, how he got there and what he went through.

Brees said he tried to stay in that moment, to hold onto it. Right then, he cried tears of joy on Sunday, too.”

Unfortunately, the Obama administration for ideological reasons has cut off abstinence-only funding, putting at risk the health and welfare of millions of teens.
