My Year

I am a Jets fan and I just learned that Judy is one too. Quite a difficult thing to be, a Jets fan. Not even Judy remembers their one Superbowl win. I definitely have suffered going to games year after year watching them lose.  I love that stubborn thing in people that makes them stick to things no matter what whether it’s trying to help their child who is a lost cause, or rooting for a losing team. I’m not saying that it’s hopeless. I’m just saying that I love that quality of tenacity: when the chips are down and the odds are against you, and you still hold on to hope. 

I kind of am that way myself. For all my life, I never stopped believing that somehow I’d be able to talk. And here I am. Hallmark moment:  my parents never gave up on me either. And if I can talk, miracles can happen. Hallmark moment again:  this is the Jets’ year. 

J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets!
