Superbowl/Football memories

Dear baby girl,

I'm writing this as I watch Superbowl 50 with daddy. Your sisters already took their showers & are in bed (school tomorrow). We are rooting for the NC Panthers, like Bella said, "Because they have 'Carolina" in their name, after Auntie."

Another FB memory came up a few days ago, with your name on it. Of course I saved it & wanted to share it. It was of Superbowl last year- we made Nachos with chili n Cheese; your favorite; without the chili of course.

You were never a big meat eater, specially when you found out it actually comes from animals. Eggs either...."You mean they come from baby chickens Mommy?" After that, you never liked neither chicken or eggs.

The picture reminded me how you loved Nachos n cheese so much, you'd order that instead of popcorn at the movies...

I still order it sometimes too, because it reminds me of you.

I remember how you never really cared for football either. Probably because I'm a Redskin fan & you watched too many losing games. :/

I smiled thinking of the scared look you'd get sometimes when mommy went crazy watching those games...:)

But you weren't shy about telling me if I was getting out of hand or of how much the Redskins sucked. :)



Another funny quote.

I started thinking about the time I took you girls to the Redskin training camp. We got to watch them practice & you got some autographs. You didn't care for it much then either...

But you went anyway, not only because I'm your mommy & you went everywhere I went, but also because you knew you'd have fun no matter what. And you did...

I have those pictures in an album somewhere,
my mouse. You were just a little mouse back then.

You always had such a great memory, I'm sure you'd remember...

The last memory that popped up was this one of a couple of years ago. When Pierre Garcon # 88 came to the Paisano's close to the house. We got to meet & greet him & got autographs on our jerseys & football.

This surge of memories I can't when they come, my beautiful girl. And I don't want to either...

Some could say I'm living in the past, but I don't feel that way. It's me keeping you alive in the present. Now, when I miss & need you the most.

I explained that to Ms. Fran (your old babysitter & Juno's mom) through some texts & calls a few weeks ago, when she was checking in on us. This was her response on her last text that I saved:

It meant so much to me. I wanted to show you what she sent too & I will...she is so heartbroken too, my angel. She, like so many loved you & love you still.

You touched so many people in your life.

I'm so proud I got to be the one to share it with you....to be your mommy....to call you mine.

I'm so proud of you, it fills my heart with so much love.

A love that will never leave you or let you go..

It will be there, until the end of time.

Forever,
Your Mommy

Goodnight <3
