Card's Smith's mom had title-game premonition
Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 9:45 am
It was in April, when the breast cancer had spread to her brain and she was in the toughest battle of her life, that Cardinals fullback Terrelle Smith's mother first told him of her vision.
She said she saw him playing at home in the NFC Championship Game.
Nine months later, it's happening.
"Doctors say sometimes they get delusional and, at times, we thought she was," Smith said. "But now it lines up. It makes sense, and it tells me what to fight for every week."
She won't get to see it. She died in December.
Smith's father died four years earlier. Smith said he is dedicating Sunday's game against the Eagles to both parents.
"I'm keeping a positive out of something that could devastate you badly," Smith said.
