Super Bowl losses and other disappointments.

The New England Patriots, perfect all season, lost the Super Bowl tonight, 17-14, to the New York Giants. The defense of the Giants harassed Tom Brady all night and Eli Manning delivered when he had to, congrats to the Giants. I watched the game with a friend from church but no family members. Realized how much I miss my three oldest sons who have grown and married and are now elsewhere in the world with their own families. But my youngest son, not married and still living at home, chose to watch the "game" with his friends. His friends and not dear old dad! How quickly they grow and develop lives of their own. I am thankful for the times I have had with the boys as they grew up, but I miss being with them now. I miss those trips to see the Boston Red Sox and Florida State Seminoles, to go camping and hunting, to watch soccer matches and movies, to visit Canobie Lake, Six Flags and Busch Gardens. I miss those little guys who have become young men. But I am so thankful to God that my sons have come to know Him and His love, for they will discover what I have discovered, He will never disappoint.
