I met a kind lady at the SEC Championship. We were seated together, as we'd both gotten our tickets through the Longhorn Foundation. We got to chatting, and exchanged contact info. I always take button with my father's face (my dad passed away in 2023) to games to continue our "tradition" of going to/watching games together. She noticed, and we talked about him.
I attended the Peach Bowl, and was pleased we were once again seated together. I had to coach her through the game (lol), and explain our path to victory against Arizona State. She took the photos of me sobbing after. π
Neither of us got tickets through LHF for the Cotton Bowl, but were obviously going to find a way to attend anyway. She asked if i had any pictures of Daddy and me....I didn't think anything of it. She asked where I was sitting. And brought me this. The day before his birthday. So he could see better. π₯Ή
It was so nice for a moment to not have to be the "strong and resilient" one who takes care of every one else and just be the girl who misses her Daddy. To receive comfort without expectation of something in return. There IS still kindness in the world. There ARE still good people out there. And I'm so grateful to her for this beautiful gesture. ππ€πΎ
