What a night Keith and I had!!! It was a dream come true for Keith and a fantastic experience for me!!! Having never been to the United Center (or ever remember being there) it was so AWESOME!!! I love the way I live life these days because I have learned to take everything in to truly enjoy it all!
We left early enough to be able to get there before the doors were even open. We stood in a large crowd which kept the wind from freezing us and then when the doors opened we gradually made our way into the building. It was Jonathan Toews bobblehead night so we both got a bobblehead as a souvenir of this night. As we walked in we both enjoyed the time to walk around and check out all that there was to see and do before the game. We found the place at which the commentators tape the intermission breaks which came in handy during the 2nd intermission when we went to walk around and found an opening for me to stand along the fan area and get myself on TV!! :) There are so many memories we have taken from this night BUT the best gift of all was the chance to have an exciting, fun night to remind us that enjoyment of life is the best medicine for both of us. And that Cancer has not taken the fun of living away from us! I also am amazed that I was able to stay awake until midnight last night as we pulled into the driveway and then be up this morning to get the girls from my mom's! We stayed around the stadium looking at things and enjoying the memories until about 25 minutes after the game was over! We were kids who did not want to leave the fun or let it end!
It was fantastic to have been at such a great game and have our beloved Blackhawks get a needed victory. We also enjoyed celebrating with them as Corey Crawford, goalie got his 4th shut out of the season. This team is such a great group of guys! We saw so many gifts they gave out to fans and they are so pro-kids. They make hockey so easy to LOVE!
This was one gift we were given that will stay a strong memory and be a milestone in this cancer journey because it truly boosted our spirits!!! We have no way to show our gratitude to our cousins, Tim, Mae and Gina who made this dream for Keith and I come true! We love you all and thank you!
We are also so thankful to all who give us gifts each day of this journey through your thoughts and prayers and meals and watching our kids and loving us and helping us and just plain caring about us! We could not do this without ALL of you! I may be the one physically trying to beat this cancer but I would be nowhere without all of you!
