Why Tami Taylor is My Hero

I miss Friday Night Lights.

Mostly, I miss Tami Taylor. 

It’s hard to not love Tami when she’s played by the amazing Connie Britton.  (I can’t tell you how happy I am to see her back on TV again!)

There are many reasons why I love Tami, but what I admire about her most is her role as a wife.

Here’s what Tami does right:

1. She Goes to the Game: there is one person Coach Taylor can count on to be in the stands cheering him on rain or shine- his wife Tami.

2. She Speaks Her Mind: she doesn’t expect her husband to guess what she wants and needs.  She makes herself clear, without being obnoxious.

3. She Listens: Tami doesn’t just talk.  She knows when to keep her thoughts to herself for a while while her husband sorts out his own troubles and frustrations.  She listens, then speaks.

4. She Uses Humor: when life gets tough around the Taylor household, or in the whole town of Dillon, Tami is always cracking jokes.  She doesn’t let her husband take himself too seriously.

5. She’s Not Fearful: when conflict arises, Tami doesn’t go into hiding. She’s willing to stay up late, get up early, or show up in the boys locker room to work it out with Coach.

6. She Stands By Her Man: Tami backs her husbands decisions.  She doesn’t let their kids, the team, or the state of Texas come between them.

It’s a lot easier to act like a great wife than to be a great wife, but I still find Tami Taylor to be an inspiration.
