A emotional win

So, the Steelers are always an emotional game to watch, and I feel drained after every game. This is enlarged by a power of 10 when it is a Ravens game.

However, today was different. My mom passed away last night. She was 89 years old, had battled a bunch of serious health issues for the past 12 years, and it wasn't unexpected.

My mom was never a football fan, but she indulged my fandom in many ways over the years. She bought me a pennant- still hanging on my wall- the electric football game with SB IX in it, and a Franco Harris jersey from the Sears catalog for Xmas in 1975. And this was only the beginning. She pretended not to notice when I snuck the portable tv into my room to watch the Steelers on MNF past my bedtime. I can remember her support for me when the dynasty ended in 1980, and when she surprised me with McDonalds after a tough playoff loss to the Raiders in 1983. And on and on, and on, right up to recent years.

And so today, when we needed to win and I needed to win- we did. Thanks Mom.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Your Mother.
At least you have great memories of Her. All My Prayers go to You, and Your Family in every way.

Prayerful for you and your family. I lost my mom 2 days after Christmas, 2 years ago. Hang in there.
