Best Christmas Ever! "Buss out the Kleenex box"
I just got back from Las Vegas and I wanted to share with everyone the bet we laid down: WE BELIEVE!!!
Then this morning after a normal weekend breakfast we decide to let the children to open a gift early since they have been behaving well while daddy was gone. We video tapped them opening their gifts like we do every year and when they were done they asked me to open one of my gifts.
Laying on the top of the giftbox were two photos:
I would like to thank Colt Brennan and the staff that helped him on Friday at Kapiolani Hospital. Even when the biggest game in UH history is only a week away, they find time to go down to the hospital and visit the children's cancer center. Special thanks to the staff member who helped my mother in law get the autographed photo. I heard that Colt was running late and he went the extra mile to get it signed. Thank you!
When I opened the box there was an awesome poloshirt:
Below the shirt was a copy of the SB's "Dream Season" magazine, good job SB!
As I open the magazine I see a few papers in them and something falls out of the pages.
I then began sobbing like a little boy and I think it took my wife by surprise because she started to get teary eyed too. When they told me that daddy deserved to go I lost it and my daughter brought me a box of kleenex. (That video will be sealed and locked away in our achives until the day I die) So they told me that I can wear the white polo shirt to the game since it's a white out. They also bought me a green shirt since the white out was only announced recently.....thx herman hehe
So my airfare and tickets are set up but I just have to work on getting a hotel for a couple of days but....I'M GOING TO THE SUGAR BOWL!!!

No worries Scott. Many of us would have lost it from the joy those things would have brought to our hearts. It couldn't have happened to a better person. Now get started on that video of your trip to an end or beginning of a dream season.
We all believe.
Merry Christmas
