I will say that I seen all the challenges since Manly + I don't go to games now but my two lads do,home + away + to see their joy at seeing their team win things makes me so happy. Been through a very tough time personally + watching this team the last couple of years for those two has given them a focus + really helped our family along the way. We said goodbye to their mum on Thursday this week after a 3 year battle with the harshest disease. To see them come home after every game buzzing + having something else to take their minds off things will never go unnoticed. The players visited their mum In the hospice before Xmas + it was very special. To see my boys enjoy the glory days that I've seen previously fills me with great joy + pride for my club. A tear was shed tonight
Condolences for your loss mate. We had something similar when we lost my Mum in October 2010. Dad and I weren't going to go to the Grand Final that year as we didn't want to risk it but she made us go. Her little, weak "Yay!" when we told her we'd won still brings a tear when I remember it but is also a cherished memory as she passed just a few days later. Remember these times, hard though they may be. They'll mean so much to you in years to come.
The win last night was magnificent! We had to watch it huddled round a tablet at 1 o'clock in the morning as we only fly back from holiday today. What a performance and I envy you all being there on a night like that! I trust there's a few sore heads this morning
