Lundy family reunion

Texans rookie running back Wali Lundy got the starting
nod this week, and he'll be facing the team he grew
up idolizing the Eagles .

On friday he told me, "Not in my wildest dreams did I think this was possible."

Lundy recently purchased a house in the Houston area, and its a good
thing because his family is in town to share his big moment.
His grandmother Etta Davis, his Aunt Pam Davis , and his two brothers
Jamal , and Mikal , along with some cousins , are all in town for the Texans
game vs the eagles .

Wali's sucess with the Texans couldn't have come at a better time
for the Lundy family . Back in February , Wali's older brother Shaheed
died after complications from pneumonia .
He was the brother who always encouraged young Wali to excel in sports,
and now Wali's sucess is helping the family cope with their loss.

All the Lundy brothers played football. Jamal at U. Conn. and
Mikal at Towson State , but it was the baby Wali who made it
all the way to the pros.
Mikal told me "some people would be jealous , but I don't have any
jealous in me , I feel like its me out there." "I'm so happy for him,
I have so much joy , I'm the happiest person in the world ."

On Sunday the Lundy family will be united at the Eagles game ,
only this time they'll be pulling for the Texans , and one special Texan.
