Her best friend is Coach Philbin's sister-in-law. > I was at a Chiefs/Broncos game 2 years ago. Sitting behind us was an elderly lady and her grandson, maybe 10 years old. Grandson was decked out in a Tebow jersey. The rest of us stood throughout the whole game, making as much noise as possible...cheering, etc. just doing the general Arrowhead fan stuff. This old lady and her grandson never stood up....i'm not sure they ever saw any plays. They just kind of sat there, though neither looked all that unhappy about it. Near the end of the game i chatted up the lady. Apparently they drove several hours to the game to quietly support Tebow, because once, he had visited someone they knew who was very sick. He spent some time with her, and them, and just generally cheered them up. I love to curse Tebow as much as the next person, and nobody hates public displays of religious piety more than me. But whenver i'm tempted, i just remember the innocent look on that kid's face, and how desperately important this was to him in the way that it only could be for a child...and thus his grandma. I hope your kid gets to meet him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:348880 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
