On my frig, I have a piece of paper on which I wrote, "I miss the smell of little hot dogs, and yellow mustard, and the sounds of a baseball game on TV." I have one of Joel's friends keep me apprised of important Yankees news, I tried to watch (but found it as boring as I did when he was alive, to be perfectly honest), and pay attention to box scores. Our family saw the Yankees play at the new stadium the June before Joel died in Dec. Glad we got that lucky... <br />DJillHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323993678663381136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410599077591449670.post-57617512368188950812011-01-24T17:56:50.710-07:002011-01-24T17:56:50.710-07:00Nelson would have been rooting for the Jets, as a ...Nelson would have been rooting for the Jets, as a New Yorker. New York has a million teams, you know? The year the Giants won the Superbowl, I was cheering for them with him. This year I just found myself thinking I should be rooting for the Jets...he wasn't that into football, but he did watch playoff games. I ended up not watching. It just made me sad...Hira Animfeftehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463914387875684115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410599077591449670.post-67853058521724583032011-01-24T09:43:00.983-07:002011-01-24T09:43:00.983-07:00LOL!!

My husband wasn't a sports fan and I only watch the games at playoff times, but I so understand where you are coming from. I'm even prouder now that the Steelers won last night. Roll on Super Bowl so the Steelers can send Green Bay packing and there will be joy in heaven!ToniLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075109377267561076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410599077591449670.post-50925901891932514662011-01-24T05:47:25.884-07:002011-01-24T05:47:25.884-07:00My husband Eddie was a life long Steeler fan.

When Eddie died in "09 all his teams won their Championships...The Steelers, Lakers and Longhorns. For his veiwing he wore a steeler jersey #43. Polomolu was his favorite player and Eddie was only 43 years old. Last Novemeber, Eddie's sister went to Pittsburgh for her 1st ever game(she is also a steeler fan) she took some of Eddie's ashes and spread them on the sideline of Heinz Field. Eddie never got to see a live game before he died. And had I known cancer would take him so young I would have done whatever it took to get him there. Last nights game was great and he will always have a great seat from now on. But I cried last night because he should have been here watching with me, explaining like he used to. Now I have had to learn the game better because he is not here to help me.I wear his Steeler wear so that it never gets dusty, but he should be wearing it.

Our 4 year old son stood vigil the ENTIRE game...while myself and my 11 year old daughter and I came in and out on a few occasions. He would come and tell us that something had just happened. I too didn't really pay attention but was happy when he would hoot and holler and be nervous swinging the terrible towel and donning a jersey and a cap. And he had rituals that were okay to do and some that were not okay to do to make sure they would win. He had tickets to a game last year in PA....We live in WA State....it would have been the second one he would get to see there with his best friend...Steeler's fans are a minority over here. :) I had to cancel that flight after he died. We were happy they won....but there was no whooping and hollering, no fever of excitement as there would have been. Just sort of an empty something...but I'm glad we watched.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410599077591449670.post-71741546954682832952011-01-23T23:16:52.664-07:002011-01-23T23:16:52.664-07:00As a surprise for my husband I bought him and his ...As a surprise for my husband I bought him and his brother tickets to see a Steelers game. Living in Los Angeles, we hardly ever got to watch them play. I would have loved to have seen his face when I told him. I can only imagine it...I never got to tell him my surprise because he passed away the day I got him the tickets. I went to the game last year and was heart broken. But felt so close to him at Heintz field. I am a Steeler fan because of him and will always be! We'll always have that connection with our husbands and like you thought of him often tonight. Something was missing for me during tonights game. Thank you for your story... nice to hear that I'm not the only one that has this emotions during Steeler games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410599077591449670.post-38948832731775864472011-01-23T22:42:39.358-07:002011-01-23T22:42:39.358-07:00My husband was a HUGE Packers fan, his best friend...My husband was a HUGE Packers fan, his best friend, Steelers all the way. I was sad tonite thinking what a great time they'd be having talking smack about each others' teams..and what a Superbowl party it would be. I completely get what you're feeling.
