Etihad Sunday..11am..WIN OR LOSE!!!!

[saintbrat]

Debi I could justn think how much worse they would feel if WE didn't get there......................

[Iceman234]

I will so be there!!!!!!!!!!!

My personal devastation today was that my 15 y.o. son and I hadn't at all seen eye-to-eye for months now since he decided to move to the USA with his mother in November this year. I was distraught at this decision.

Over a few months I have come to terms with it and had come to ask him to share this great day with me, as I'm buggered if I know when this chance may/if ever come up again.

After all, at 44, this is my first GF I've seen the Saints live.

He came with me today with my family and friends and sucked it up and was a trooper, but F*** it rocked me to lose today!

I was literally bawling my eyes out at the end of the game, yes at 44!

I stayed til all our boys were off the ground at the end. I clapped the Geelong medallions and cup, but as soon as our boys walked off, so did I and so did my son with me.

A Cat supporter could see what it meant to me - he walked past and squeezed my arm/shoulder in a really emotional way. Thankfully we live in a country where this can happen.

On the way out I bought two premiership posters for Geelong supporting mates that couldn't get there today. Then hung around for an hour or so with our group and had some beer and food and a debrief. I don't think anyone could believe I bought those posters...

I received a phone call from a fellow SS'er that I haven't even met, but he had my number, he knew from my messages how shattered I was.

The Saints are a great family, Saintsational is a great family.

Thanks for being here.

And there's always 2010.

Still going with the family.
But it wont be the triumph I was hoping for.

After a long day in standing room will just be happy to sit down somewhere in the stands and offer restrained support.

You are so right.
I did try to explain my mistaken thoughts in another post. It was a fleeting thought, obviously clouded by my own disappointment.

I do have a family thing to go to. My sister's birthday tomorrow, and she was actually going to have a combined birthday/GF bbq today, but was good enough to change her plans even though she'd already sent out invitations, because I explained to her that I wanted to watch at home with people who wanted to really see the game. So she's made it tomorrow lunch time instead. I'll sound her out tomorrow, but I think she'll be disappointed if I don't make the effort.

Having said that though, I do want to be there tomorrow. I want to say thank you. I want to say we are proud of you. I want to say we are hurting for you and with you. I want to say that I am behind them 100%. I want to say we eat, sleep and breathe red, white and black, and that we love them enough to move on with them into 2010 and turn the lessons of our loss into the launching pad for success.

So I really hope you'll see me there. If I CAN be there, I WILL be there.

Iceman, I didn't think I had tears left, but you started me off again. I wish today were different, for all of us, for you.
