re: OFFICIAL "I will cry when the Saints win tomorrow night" Thread

The deceased thread actually made me cry today.

I lost both of my oldest & youngest brothers Denny & Daniel in a car accident in '97. My oldest brother Denny was my best friend and a HUGE Saints fan. We had season tix together. Couldn't help but think how much he would have enjoyed this.

4 years later, my grandfather "Paps" died. He was an poor ole country boy from Winnfield who always made time for the Saints on Sundays, even though he never actually went to a game despite living just minutes away on the westbank. If he wasn't coming over to watch the Saints at my house on the big screen, he would watch it on his 20 inch b&w tv or just listen to them on the radio during blackouts. I loved those Sundays with him.

So just thinking about the possibility that after the game that the Saints could be going to the Super Bowl is bittersweet, but they are still tears of joy cuz I know they would be ecstatic.

(sorry to be so somber, but I never thought "a game" would be so meaningful.)
