Between Kirby Puckett and Dana Reeve, I think I could use a little more inspiration than snark today.
Lentorama 2006 Saints of the Day: Sts. Perpetua and Felicity
Perpetua and Felicity were 3rd century Carthaginian converts to Christianity, both mothers (Felicity gave birth while in prison), and both willing to be put into the arena (and afterwards to the sword) rather than renounce their faith. Perpetua rebuffed repeated calls to denounce Christianity, noting that it was who she was and could not be changed. Her last words were reportedly, "Stand fast in the faith and love one another."
Which isn't a bad idea, even if your faith is in something outside of organized religion. Thinking about Reeve, her faith in her husband and in a cure for his condition seem to apply here in some fashion. Puckett... well, he did stand fast with his team. He may have taken loving one another a little too literally, though.
