Dear Drew, (1 Viewer)

[Cajun Chat]

The journey with you like so many in the WhoDat nation is personal. You brought a hope, a dream and a dream come true. You made us champions. You were the voice and face of our franchise for the last 15 years. You inspired and helped revive a proud but wounded city. Your heart and generosity make you the greatest of all Saints.

My personal story with you relates to my daughter. You turned a freshman girl into an avid Saints fan that helped us share many journeys literally around the world to see you and our beloved Saints. It's now become a ritual we've had for going on 15 years. Only a 100 year pandemic broke that streak. We had the good fortune to meet you on two separate occasions. Those will be two of the highlights of my adult life. Thank you for giving me the gift of converting my daughter into a now lifelong WhoDat. We now get to share our father/daughter Saints away game weekends for the rest of our lives.

Thank you for believing in our city when no one else would. Thank you for listening to God's calling of where you and Brittany we supposed to be.

Most of all thank you for loving us. As you so appropriately said, "If you love New Orleans, it will love you back." and we do love you back Drew.

May God continue to bless you and your family in the next chapter of your life.

Love this post. Makes me sad

With a lot of people bashing Brees right now all I can think of is the team let down Drew Brees far more often than Drew Brees let them down. He's one of the greatest of all time and he deserves more recognition towards that than he will get.

Thanks for everything Drew!

Nice post. Thank you for sharing and I'm sure most people all share the same sentiment and story. I plan on sending Drew a similar letter of thanks this offseason.

Maybe we should all put our "Dear Drew" letters together?
