THE BOSTON RED SOX ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS, boy i never ever thought i would see the day, its just such a surreal and emotional moment right now for me. i could write forever about what the red sox have done and the emotions im feeling right now but i just want to say that i am just so happy that i was able to watch the red sox win the world series with my dad, he raised me as a sox fan and no matter how much he complained about them and all the heartache they've put him through ('67 '76 and '86 world series)i saw last night the joy on his face when they finally won it. i just lost it i couldnt hold my emotions in any longer and im just so happy that i was able to experience this moment with him, the only thing thats missing though is i really really wish that my papa was here to witness this, god how i miss him, i just wish so badly that he was here i would have given anything to have been able to have watched the sox win the world series with him and my dad, and i know that my dad wishes so badly that he was here too, i can see it in his eyes all the time, you left us WAY TOO SOON, papa i love you and miss you so much and i know you had something to do with the sox winning this thing, same with the patriots a couple years ago, i could go on for a while talking about my papa but i dont cry anymore than i already am, all i have to say is that papa, your always alive and well in my heart and i will never forget the first time we went to a red sox game i was six years old and you and my dad brought me and jonathan they played the a's, and there was just nothing better than to be at the ballpark learning about baseball from the two most influencial people in my life i will never forget that first time or all the other times we went to the games or watched the games, ok i got to stop now i breaking down pretty badly its taken me 2 hours just to write this. i love you papa and you will always live on in my heart, and dad i cant wait to someday give you gradkids and for us to bring them to a sox game and for you to be able to tell them that you were able to actually see the red sox win the world series and to have been able to have seen them win it with your son in your arms, last night i felt like that six year old kid again dad just laying in your arms so proud that i was able to witness this wih you. just this past summer we went to the sox game just me and you on my birthday and i could tell that you were just so happy to be there with me and were reminded of yourself and papa when you were my age the way you told me that he used to just take you to the ballgames just you and him, i feel so bad for you dad cuz i know how much you miss him. im just so happy that im a sports fan because no matter what we argue about it seems that the one constant thing that brings us so close together and is able to make us forget what were arguing about is sports i cant wait until next season when me and you can go to a sox game i just love watching games with you dad especially baseball because thats the way we were raised as die-hard baseball fans, i can tell from the way you talk about papa sometimes that when you see me so happy about a "silly little game" that i remind you of yourself when you were my age and i just hope that it never ends. you've done so much for me and i dont think ive ever been as happy or proud to have you as my dad, i love you dad.
