When Life Tells You No | Russell Wilson | Goalcast

[@songsore]

I miss my dad every day. Except that i was nowhere around when he passed at the hospital. He drove himself there and did not come back as expected. I wake up and he is not there. I can no longer make breakfast for him. Or get to run his errands. It is devastating. But he made me stronger. He made me understand I am not limited in anyway especially by my gender. It was never even an issue. I was like a son too. He did not see sex. He prepared me for these days of grief and hurt and he did well. Then God took over. Tragedy will not end anybody's life. Their reaction could.

[@zikryzahari]

Mildred Songsore Salia That was powerful. I still got my parents but I will prepare myself to face that day. I wonder if you're already conpletely over your dad or still kinda miss him though.

[@zikryzahari]

Mildred Songsore Salia because some people told me they're not really get over with it.

[@songsore]

kortis I still miss him. Everyday. But don't think like that. Don't say you will prepare to face that day. Just treat them like they are rare gifts. The rarest finds. It's great you still have them so make every moment count with them.

[@faithborras2502]

Same exact thing with my dad.. died while driving to surprise him at the hospital :( stay strong !

[@Eugene-wd5qd]

Mildred Songsore Salia Same thing happened in my love story. But never give up

[@MilesP777]

Love Russell Wilson. Such a great football player and role model. Wish a lot more players in the league had this guys mindset.

[@ttlfmag3507]

MilesP777 ....marcus mariota?

[@stephenciccone1739]

Russell Wilson is a special person and a born leader. God Bless him.

[@jabistutorials9428]

Great quarterback, great speech. So much respect for him

[@AtifKhan-vq6tq]

My Challenges are even worse. My Dad died by all of a sudden. Then I lost the job I was working for 4 years. Then I worked on a very low paying job. Then I just quit the job and started building my own business but it also failed after few years because a partner of mine committed financial frauds. Then I was not over with these things and my girlfriend left me. Then I joined a job probably the best I ever had. Two months later they told me we just can't afford you. We are in bad shape right now & here I am writing all this having no idea what life has next for me. But still I would say to anyone reading this. DO NOT GIVE UP no matter how many times life tell you No. Keep striving for your happiness and beleive it or not. I am writing in these miserable circumstances that LIFE WILL BE GREAT SOON.

[@abhikavarma1699]

I LOST MY DAD 8 DAYS AGO. I LOST MY MOTHER ON CHRISTMAS EVE. I WAS PLANNING MY WEDDING AND NOW I AM PLANNING HIS FUNERAL. MY DAYS ARE SORT OF LOST AND FUZZY. DAD YOU TAUGHT ME SO MUCH ESPECIALLY HOW TO DANCE. I COULD NOT WAIT TO DANCE WITH YOU AT MY WEDDING BUT GOD HAD OTHER PLANS. THANK YOU FOR KINDNESS, YOUR WISDOM AND YOUR ABILITY TO MAKE ME SMILE. I FOUND A PICTURE OF GRAMPA AND GRANDMP WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG. IT BROKE MY HEART. I DO NOT KNOW IF I WILL EVER GET OVER THIS. I NEVER GOT OVER MOM. BUT NOW THE 2 OF YOU ARE TOGETHER. RIP DAD;)

[@drockthecowboysfanfromjers2183]

[@anthonypietrobono6178]

[@ryanmorris9175]

[@sonyablocker9905]

Just now realizing!😖...thank you for sharing. My heart is with all that have experienced loss in this way & find a way to cherish the memories, support their love ones & continue forward understanding just how precious life & love is!

[@Gusbus187]

My parents don't love me and the one person who did was a high school drama teacher. All throughout my high school career if I had a bad day I would come into the theatre and talk it out with him then we'd change some lights and check the sound. He had a rule if you are in a class with below a C as your grade or if yiu get into a fight at school you are kicked from the show. It was senior year and we were doing the little mermaid and I did both in the same day because my emotions were on overload because the night before my parents told me they were getting a divorce. So I went in to talk with him before practice and told him hey before you hear about it I'm quitting the show and I want to recommend some people for my part, he said come back in 15 minutes and we'll talk about it. And we did and it was the first time in all of my high school years did I cry because he told me he loved me and believed in me. The last week of school comes our show was the Thursday and on Monday morning I wake up and mom tells me the one man who truly cared for me died in his sleep because of a massive heart attack. I missed my high school graduation for his funeral, for 2 months I didn't smile, I didn't talk to friends, but then I got a call from a friend "come down to the basketball court at the school we got something to show you. When I got there they took me inside the school and sat me down in a chair in his office and my girlfriend at the time sat in the doorway as I balled my eyes out. This man taught me every valuable lesson I've ever learned told me "if your passionate about acting then there is a place in this world for You" when he got asked to do a show and needed a tech worker I got called first because he loved my work ethic and most importantly unlike every other person in my life never once called me stupid or that my ideas like myself was worthless. He listened to everything I had to say and respected what I had to say. Everything I am today is because of that man

[@uislamu9932]

Nerds Last Resort and u can be that man for someone else

[@gammalierparrilla8567]

Great story. No matter how hard life is, keep pushing and strive for greatness!

[@nacht1295]

Always remember, just keep standing, no matter how bad it gets or is, stand tall be brave and instead of looking for a way to quit, look for a Way to accomplish

[@billdwinell1914]

The way be repay great men like your teacher is by being that man for someone else. Paying it forward, and touching others lives is how we keep their memories alive.

[@niki7603]

I had the same teacher like yours Hopefully she is still alive God bless them These teachers change the way of our life for ever with their care and kindness Thank God that we had the chance to meet these people Well I believe for keeping this cycle of kindness alive We should support and care for others like they did that for us

[@masteringpowerwithin8583]

My dad passed away, when I was 2 and half years old, he was such great dad! My mother told the best memory about my dad that he was always kind to everyone and never inter the house without greeting children playing outside! Even though I can't recall any memory and my family lost all his photos in a civil war!

[@justarnest]

😔

[@RealGhostHawk38]

I didn’t expect my favorite quarter back to have this kind of story. This was deep. Go hawks.

[@LIVE.LAUGH.EMPIRE]

[@amandamilkovich6685]

My dad got sick when I was three and he almost died and he tried and fought and he got better at one point but wasn’t better completely and he keep fighting the pain and fighting and soon he ended up in a hospice home and he fell asleep in front off me and his last words were happy birthday and I hope today was the best day ever and I love you and then he was gone and I was ten when that happened and to this day I still can’t enjoy my birthday as much as I did. And now life is so bad for me because everyone talks about how there dads are so cool and everything and all I can say is my dad passed away so it was so so hard losing my dad because he was not only my dad but he was my best friend and we did almost everything together and so when he died it felt like I lost half of me. So that’s my story and how my life ended in 2018

[@thilakkumara5691]

my father pased away too.. 1month ago... now what i m doo... want to die too..

[@JonnyBknows]

Wow. I came on here to hear something "corny". Boy was I gladly wrong. Much respect to Russ for such an incredibly inspirational piece!

[@paintballgaming630]

[@RedBernardAce]

I miss my dad his name was Andrew “Moose” Russell he was a firemen the Harrison township area in Michigan but everyone loved him same as my mom and me and my siblings but after he got injured by slipping on ice he broke his right elbow as I was the one to write his signatures for the doctors office but the day he died was 2 days before his Birthday it was July 2nd 2016 but his 50th birthday was 2 days away but I was only 11 there as when he passed out in my old room not responded he died right there in the house I live in today as we now today 2018 he has a gravestone of his name and the Tubman quote from the wizard of oz but I will try my best to be the big man in the house as being a fireman like my dad and that video will always be there to remind me how a NFL player has the same problem like me thanks Russell Wilson thank you.🙏
