My husband's family has had a block of season tickets to our local NFL team for the past three generations.

Dear Concussed Kids, I also know that those who play football are at risk of serious brain injuries.
Our late uncle was a pilot, and he had a tradition where he would pick up little local candies and bring them back for all the cousins. There were 15 of us, so it was always just small treats. But it's a cherished memory. I started a career that lets me travel, so I have picked up the tradition of bringing small regional sweets whenever I see my nieces and nephews.
