Never Thought I would

It has been both a wonderful, and a awful day, for me as (quite literally) two minutes before I set off for the big game today I received the shocking news that a young chap I know had died unexpectedly in the night - the cruelty of the situation being compounded by the fact that his much loved 10 year son found him dead in bed.

 

There being nothing useful I could do to mitigate this human tragedy by staying at home I went to the game anyway, but with a heavy heart in all honesty. In this situation we are supposed to say that the importance of a football match pails into insignificance when compared to something like this, and that of course is perfectly true. But seeing our lovely old club go back where it belongs and witnessing the unmitigated joy of my fellow fans all around me did actually help.

 

Grief and joy, life and death .... all part of the same deal.
