So sorry for your loss. Most of the best memories we have with our parents are from everyday life. You remember a certain trip or a great Christmas morning.
My mom and I have never shared many common interests other than business stuff, we are very close, but not because we share interests.
My dad and I took some great fishing trips that we both remember fondly. We talk a lot, but we don’t have any passion for the same things.
Your mother loving football and sharing it with you is a blessing of the highest order. A mom that loves sports, tailgates and all that goes with them is super cool and super rare. Bless her soul and I hope you feel her presence every time you watch a game or fire up the grill. Maybe she can help us pull off a miracle tonight!
