And I truly miss calling him to discuss the team. No matter what happens tomorrow; I know he’d be enjoying the hell out of this season 🫡

  3. I lost my Dad 1 year ago, Monday. He was a Commanders fan through me ( he was a die hard Pats fan). He always talked about how he wished we’d get a good QB because he wanted my team to do well. It’s so bittersweet having him gone and having this year because I know he would have been losing his mind with me. Hail!

    Let’s get these lions!

  5. My dad and I are commanders fans and this season has brought us so much joy. My dad isn’t in the best of health and I really hope he can see the team go all the way.

    For our dads! HTTR

  6. He may not be enjoying it with you physically but he is most definitely enjoying somewhere I’ve thought the same thing about my grandparents that both grew up in and lived DC their whole lives

  9. My Dad passed in 2001. Him and his dad are why I bleed burgundy and gold. OP, I wish our Dads were alive to experience this magic with us in person. (That is the most beautiful urn I’ve ever seen by the way.) HTTR fellow brother.

  11. My dad passed away at the end of 2023. Lifelong fan and went to the 84 SB, he never lost hope in the team, no matter how much they disappointed him, he always watched the games and cheered them on. My earliest memory is watching the 92 SB win with him, the clearest memory (I was 3 years 9 months old) was them dumping Gatorade over Gibbs lol. I love that the earliest memory I have is of me and my dad and the skins winning.

    I’m sad that he didn’t get a chance to see his team become great again and see how bright the future is.

    He would be going nuts with these games, he had asthma and would get so excited yelling at the TV he would start coughing and give himself an asthma attack. 😂 Watching JD5 would have been deadly for him lol.

  12. Hugs to you! My dad passed June 2023. Life long fan and Washingtonian. Also shared a birthday with Jayden Daniels!

  13. My dad was a die hard Bills fan his entire life. But starting in the late 70s/early 80s, he watched every Redskin game with me and quietly became a closet Redskin fan. I know the Bills losing to the Redskins in the superbowl killed him inside, but he celebrated the Redskin win with me. Dads made the games special, a bonding experience.

  14. My dad used to joke: “Bury me in my Redskins jersey so they can let me down one last time.”

    He ain’t joking this year. 🥲🫡

  16. I lost my dad in january of 23. Lifelong redskins fan and got me watching ghem. He would come over every Sunday to watch the games. Mostly nap on my couch until dinner. But I know he’s with me now and would be excited to see what our team is doing now. Miss him a lot but he’s watching every game with me still. Lets raise hail and get us a win

  17. I lost a lot of friends to Iraq and also my father in a similar span. Had a great therapist and she would always tell me this:

    As long as you are alive, the relationships with the ones you love will continue to evolve. You can imagine what he might say. You can forgive them. You can question them. And especially for fathers, as you reach stages of life they navigated while raising you, you can fully understand and appreciate their actions. In many ways, I am closer to my dad than I ever was. And he died 15 years ago. Relationships don’t end when we die, they evolve in the hearts of those still going.

  20. Reading through these comments and it’s crazy to see so many ppl with similar stories. Lost my dad a few years ago and he was a die hard fan who I obviously also became one through. When I see where this team and organization is now it makes me so happy but it’s also a sadness in me that wishes he could be here to see his team back on top again. To see that we finally got our QB, how special he is and how bright our future is. I imagine the convo’s back and forth between us discussing the team. RIP to all of our loved ones in here. Take solace in knowing they live through us and our joy in the team🙏
