Sunday the Seahawks won some football game to go to the
super bowl. It was one of those games people have to share where they were
during the game. I thought I would record where we were.
We all were watching
the game at home. Dada had already paced around the house, turned off the TV and back on because he couldn't bear not to watch it. Jacob, Jack and
Amelia came in the living room as things started to turn around in the
game. Dada and the kids was huddled on the ottoman and floor, a ball of anxiety. Once they
won Dada was up shouting and of course the kids followed along high-fiving.
We
watched for a while after the game when they showed Russell Wilson and several
other Seahawk players praying on the field. I said "Look they are praying!
That is so great they are doing that." Dada told the kids, especially
Jacob sitting next to him, "That's what a real man does." The next TV
shot showed Russell Wilson over whelmed with emotion crying after we heard what
he had to say, Dada looked down at Jacob to see him wiping tears from his eyes.
Dada said, "You crying a bit buddy," and then he gave him a hug. I
could see Dada so proud that his little guy was shedding a tear over the Hawks;
a great bonding moment for the two of them.
Once the game coverage was over we took a family walk to
walk off the tension of the game. After the kids and Dada played football in
the backyard.
