I wish they were alive!

this is Touching... no lie..

My Grandfather was a huge fan!!

When I was growing up every Sunday I was sitting next to my Grandpa watching the Saints. He died in 1994 I bet he is flipping in his grave right now.

I told this to my Grandma just last weekend...:)

I'm thinking of my father-in-law and his good friend, Fred Williams.

Such a piece of shite

Unusual situation with me. My father-in-law is in a nursing home, and we visit him a lot. Sometimes he is lucid and sometimes his memory and awareness of the present is not so great. I asked him if he was keeping up with Saints, and he and he thought a minute and said "Yeah, I think this guy can coach".

I hope he can hang in there if, uh, until the Saints do make the SB. It'll be great.

I would like to take this time to hope for the best to Chad's daughter in life. It will be rough having such a "great" dad like him.

Anyway, great thread. This Saints team could be one for the ages and I wish all those that came and left before us could see.

Yes my uncle passed in January. I told my Mom last night how I wished so much he was here to see how well his beloved Saints are doing.

My mother loved the Saints. She passed away at home from lung cancer literally not seconds after we beat the hell out of Carolina at their house two years ago. The tv was on the whole time, so I know she went with a smile on her face. I almost feels as if she is looking down on all of this and saying to herself, "Our guys are doing so well, I'm so proud of them".

I've been thinking about my Papaw a lot this season. He died in 1991. As a kid, I used to watch Saints games with him and my Dad every Sunday. He loved the Saints and would be loving this as well.

Yeah, for those of us that are life-long Saints fans, we all have lots of family that never got to see what we are seeing. We should be grateful and remember them as well.

Great thread.
