So, thirty-one years ago, I was born to one of the greatest Eagles fans out there, my dad. He taught me the game and promised that one day, we would GO to an Eagels game together. Well folks, that day finally came.
September 25, 2011, my husband and I took my dad to the Lincoln Stadium to see the Eagles play the NYGiants. And even though our team played like a high school team, we were SO happy to be there, together, after a lifetime of living and loving football together:)
The fun was also telling my dad we had nose-bleed seats, but then surprising him with SIXTH row seats. I have never seen my dad so surprised and speechless. VERY cool to give him that opportunity to see the field and players so close for the first time.
As the Eagles ran through the tunnel, they played Phil Collin's song, "I can feel it coming in the air tonight," and the line was, "I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life." At that moment, I looked up at my dad and said, "I really have been waiting for this my whole life." He hugged me and it was more special than words could explain.
Thanks for coming to visit dad...and for helping make one of my greatest dreams come true.
Love you.
