Steve McNair is now buried and the healing can be begin.  ADDITION McNair Killed Funeral FootballMy heart goes out to Mechelle McNair. At the time that she found out about her husband’s death—and the shocking circumstances surrounding his death, she and Steve were looking for a new home near a lake to move to.

I imagine that she dreamed of raising her boys in that tranquil environment. She imagined having family barbeques there. She imagined herself sitting by the lake relaxing and reading.

But most important, I believe that she imagined herself growing old with her husband in that dream home by the lake. Perhaps her mind even went to grandchildren.

When a dream is deferred, it’s a painful thing, a disappointing thing. And now her dreams have changed. Perhaps she still will move to that house on the lake but things will never be the same.Mechellemcnair2

Here is wishing peace and happiness and healing to Mrs. McNair.  I wish peace and happiness to the four McNair boys. And I hope that they do not grow up with  a hole in their hearts, wondering what could have been had their father not died.

Let this be a lesson to us all. Honor the marriage vows and do not allow the marriage bed to become defiled.
