Have you ever known you SHOULD be excited about something… but you just couldn’t feel it?

That was me Saturday.

After more than 40 years as a Chicago Bears fan, I was finally going to my first Bears game — with my wife and son attending their first NFL game too.

And I still felt emotionally flat.

Then somebody started walking down a hallway yelling:

“Where’s Bubba? Where’s Bubba?”

What happened next involved a Bears coin, being told we couldn’t wear our Bears jerseys in a Titans suite, a stranger named George, one VERY surprising realization about who George actually was 😂, and an invitation that completely changed our night.

For a few hours, the wall disappeared.

I was yelling. Clapping. Singing Bear Down. Laughing. Connecting.

I felt everything again.

And the craziest part?

Less than 24 hours earlier, I had released an episode about how simply showing up for another person can completely change their day.

Then somebody did exactly that for my family.

Saturday night didn't prove everything was fixed.

It proved something I really needed to know:

The feelings are still in there.

Have you ever had something completely unexpected break through a rough stretch and remind you that you were still in there?
