Dear Mom and Dad,
So after contemplation, and reading the love letter my Uncle Nick wrote me (who is absolutely right),
I know neither of you are fans, but here in the Mitten State, there are so many fans, and family and friends rooting and cheering, that it makes it a focus for me. It is actually like my Uncle Nick said, I am HOCKEYTOWN, and I hope that after all is said and done, and no matter where life takes me – where I started my journey is not ever forgotten and that my dear friends is HOCKEYTOWN. My Nana has a hope and a dream…. that extends beyond Red Wings and sports…. but is conveyed in the attitude of this town. This sportstown. This HOCKEYTOWN.. she is hoping the Red Wings win, and while she knows the heart of her little nephew also wants his own Sharks to win, she is hoping that the love she has for him is not measured by a game, but instead by the life she has lived and shown he and all the family. I AM A WING NUT… THROUGH AND THROUGH… a gift shared with my Mitten State family.
Here I was today having fun as I thought about my allegence and my spirit stick responsibilities…
GO WINGS…
Until tomorrow, as always Your Little Miss Adorable, Your LITTLE MISS HOCKEYTOWN, your daughter, who hopefully will not ever forget where she got her start…. MITTEN STATE BABY…
Guillianna!
P.S.
It appears the Sharks can be pesky, and while they emerge tonight victorious, I am steadfast in my spiritstick efforts, as a Wing Nut, and feel it only fair to let them have this victory it will make my cousin happy. To GGMa Great Aunt Ida, Cuz Nanc, and all the campers… it isn’t over until it’s over. Love Guge… and to mom and dad… who are not the biggest of hockey fans… you’re missin’ out…. I hope you can climb on board….cause the spirit and fun is good to distract from the other stuff that goes on in this world.
Nana
