Super Bowl Day

They're playing in the bowl tomorrow and we are so very proud. We Seahawk fans are loyal and also very loud. We'll be settled by our TV sets before the game begins. We'll stay for the fifth quarter no matter which side wins. I'm thinking of my men folks who had cheered them through the years. Are they watching them from Heaven and applauding with loud cheers? The Seahawk's franchise was formed back in Nineteen Seventy-Six. My husband and four brothers would yell like lunatics when the Seahawks added to their score And it seemed as though they'd win. I would look at them all yelling and would shudder at the din. Then when my son was older, he joined that happy crew. I threw in the towel and recognized I would have to join them too. They taught me all about first downs and field goals and touch downs also and many of the games intricacies that a good fan needs to know. My husband and my brothers and even my loved son have all gone on before before me Their cheering on Earth is done. I wish that they could be here to see their loved team play. Daughters and grandchildren will cheer with me tomorrow on Super Bowl Day. By: Joyce Johnson

I was optimistic about the Eagles until the Saints beat them with three seconds to go in the game with a measly field goal. I have some relatives living in the Seattle area. I'm sure they will be happy if the Seahawks win the big game. Good expressiveness here.

If truth must be said I am all sadness; the work as expected is excellent but the knowledge of death of the son is somehow ; take heart Joyce , may the Lord of hosts abide with you. Wishing Seahawk good outing tomorrow. Kayod5.
