First off, I would be remise if I didn't acknowledge the good. THanks DJK for allowing us as fans to witness some true greatness in your performances and for letting us see some records be reset.
Now to the real thanks......
Thank you DJK for allowing me to bring up the conversation to my 5 year old, (who looked up to you and ran around my living room every Saturday diving for catches pretending to be you) about responsibility, decision making, and consequences of action. Thank you for letting me talk to him about how drugs are bad and nothing good can come from them. Thank you for letting me show him that some of the greatest things in life can be taken away so quickly when we make bad decisions. Ultimately, thank you DJK for showing my son that to be a good man, you must make good decisions and live responsibly in all aspects of life.
Thank you for letting me continue to show him that we all have to suffer consequences of our decisions. (A good lesson in teaching him to make good decisions and think about consequences) Thank you DJK for letting me teach him the lesson that we are only as good as the company we keep. That people that are bad for us can and will drag us down to their level.
I am not sugar coating any of this. I have a smart little boy and I'm going to tell him all of what happened. Emphasized by the fact you may (probably) lose a lot of earning potential in the NFL. I pray that this is only what you lose.
I also want to pray for you DJK. That this will open your eyes to your talents and that you shouldn't take them for granted. And that you acknowledge the lessons being taught to you. I hope this is your "crossroads" and pray that you can make a comeback and get your life turned around and do those things you are capable of doing. You are blessed. I pray for all this so that your final lesson to my son is how we can get second changes and each and everyday each of us can wake to make better decisions to change the path we are on. So again I give thanks to you DJK.
Sincerely,
A Hawkeye Dad
