Heartache of a Nine Year Old Boy

Sunday was the Seattle Seahawks playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons.  Cameron had been waiting all week for this game and COULD NOT WAIT!  We got home from church at half time and the score was BLEAK.  The Seahawks were down 20-0.  That information was too much for him to take and he sat on the couch and cried. Then things started to turn around for Seattle. With 30 seconds left in the game the score was 28-27, Seattle in the lead.  Pure elation.  With only a few seconds left Atlanta kicked a field goal and won the game 30-28.  Cameron couldn't even watch, he hid his head in the cushions.  Cam's grand visions of the Seahawks making it to the Super Bowl were gone.  It was a hard day.

On a separate note of rough:  Our ward was split on Sunday and we were put in a newly created ward, with that comes a new building that is 16 miles away.  That might not be too big of a deal but when the current one is 1 mile away, that really sucks.  Change is good, right?  I will keep telling myself that!

  2. 16 Miles?! Is church at the airport now?? I am so sorry about that. I suppose change can be good, but a change like that would make it very difficult for me to get out of bed on Sundays. *sad for you*

    Ps... I think Jed could have taken a very similar picture of yours truly on Sunday. That game was Rough!
