….. say dey gonna beat dem Saints…. rings through my head as game time gets closer. As kind and gentle as myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope was, he did turn on the smack talk during games. And so today was extra special as the Saints played the Packers, the team his daughters support.
It is quite evident that they are his daughters, as they follow along play by play during the game. And I insert the appropriate amount of trash talk in his memory, just as he would have done. The score is tied up at half time, and I say a quick prayer for the Saint’s and know that myDarlin’ is petitioning for the same directly. And with each touchdown, I post a Saints related photo in memory of myDarlin’s fun loving nature.
myDarlin’ followed the Saints through good times and bad, the same way that he lived his life’s story always looking up and for the silver (well, in this case black and gold) lining. And he flew the Saints flags proudly letting everyone know which team he was on, just like he let everyone know he was a Saint on God’s team.
Today I am filled with gratitude that myDarlin’, one of God’s Saints, triumphed and is cheering all of us on from heaven. And I raise my cup of coffee in his mug in his honor.
