Perfection

As Lawrence Tynes’ kick sailed through the uprights in San Francisco sending the Giants to Super Bowl XLVI to face the Patriots–again!–I knew, I had to be home to see it.  I couldn’t be there for Super Bowl XLII, and really, how many more times could this match-up possibly happen–well let’s not think about that now–so I had to go.

As I walked through security at LAX on Saturday, dressed proudly in Giants gear, I was greeted with smiles, kind words of encouragement and even a fist bump; my reception at Logan, well let’s just say, it wasn’t quite as friendly.

Before I left, I didn’t worry too much about the money, the 6,000 miles of traveling I’d have to do in less than 72 hours or how I would feel if we lost.  I just knew I couldn’t miss it and it was all worth it to see my father’s face when I walked in the door.

There are few moments in life that are perfect; this was one of them.  Here is another.

While the season may be over, don’t worry, A Fan Divided isn’t going anywhere.  We have plenty to discuss, from Red Sox off-season moves, to pre-season predictions, and heck we can talk about Super Bowl XLVI forever.  So stay tuned.
