I call Dwyer my dad a lot. He’s been there for me as a friend and mentor from the moment I started my journey to join HO. He helped give me tools to succeed in my HO internship and stood by me when I struggled. He’s helped me grow from my own failures, and has always encouraged me to be my best and to show up for the league. He has taught me so much over the course of the last two seasons, not just about being a good member of this community, but about being a good person in life.
You care about people, @ADwyer87. You love them even when it’s hard to do so. You have seen this league through countless rough patches, ushering it forward to the best of your ability. You deserve to be damn proud of your efforts. Were you perfect? No. But neither was the commissioner before you, and neither will be the commissioner after you. They have very big shoes to fill, because despite all of your perceived failures, you have been a powerhouse for this community of football nerds.
My heart hurts to know the pain you’ve been through. And I wish I had been around earlier to be there for you. But I’m here for you now, as many others are. We love you. As you prepare for your departure, I hope you know that wherever the journey takes you, there is always a home here for you, and there will always be friends you can reach out to.
I love you, Dwy. I am wishing you well always. You’re the best HO dad I could have ever asked for.
