It isn't often that an opportunity comes to be with and hangout with my sons. For about two years now, a couple of my sons have been trying to plan and coordinate an opportunity to attend a Brigham Young University football game. This was accomplished last Friday night.
Six of my seven sons were able to attend, Darrick the middle son was not there. It was fun spending time and hanging out with my sons Robert, James, Micah, John, David and Jarom and two of my older grandsons Jacob and Aram.
I had attended Brigham Young University 1976-1978 but I never had a chance to attend a football game. I worked every Saturday during the football seasons I was there.
Most of my sons have grown up with me listening with my ear glued to the radio as BYU played their games. I think most of them enjoy BYU football now but watched me as I would rant and rave about the games. After a few years of that, my wife put her foot down and said no more BYU football unless I could control my ranting. I think some of my sons inherited some of my football attitude.
It was fun to watch as they interacted with each other during the game and it was fun being included in that interaction on a different level of association. One of my grandsons cheered on the offense and/or defense all game long. We were in the nosebleed seating but he had fun yelling for the team.
It was a fun time and an evening I will remember and cherish the rest of my life. It was a beautiful evening, a family moment if you will.
I hope you have opportunities like that in your life and can spend time with your family. This life is about developing relationships with our families. GO BYU!! GO Family!!!
