So much happiness, emanating freely from my spirit, each
Day, as I marveled at our good fortune to find ourselves
Enjoying the celebratory attitude, which, having expanded
Across the entire nation, was clearly expressed as pure
Delight throughout this momentous weekend?
As fate would have it, we'd landed on the eve before
The city-wide parade, honoring the Cubs, which passed
Right by our downtown hotel, and though I could see
Everything from my window on the fourteenth floor
Nothing could stop me from mingling with
The high spirited excitement of the crowds, below
That evening, I texted photos of the parade to family and
Friends, and much to my delight, upon answering my phone
The next morning at 11AM, one of my favorite cousins was
On the line: Are you in Chicago? he asked. Yes!
So am I! I drove in from North Carolina, all night, to enjoy
Yesterday's parade, and I'm driving back, this afternoon.
Where are you, I asked?
At Wrigley Field, getting shirts. If you're free, I'm meeting
A friend for lunch at noon at a restaurant on the corner of
Michigan Av. and Wacker, and I'd love to see you.
OMG! I'm so excited! My hotel is on the corner of
Michigan Ave. and Wacker! I can't wait to see you, too!
Once again, I marveled at fate and my good fortune to
Be here for Will's ortho meeting on that specific weekend!
After enjoying lunch with one of my favorite people
I ubered to meet my sister at her son's home where
Several of us worshipped her adorable 21 month old
Grandson, whose antics kept us laughing for hours until
It came time for us to meet Will for dinner, after his
Ortho meeting, which had offered us reason to have been
Fated with the good fortunate to celebrate with all of
Chicagoland—as shown in the photos, below!
This third photo was taken, while I, mingling with
The celebratory crowds, stood, cheering, in front of my hotel as
The Cubs, riding by in a series of open air, double decker buses, held
Their trophy, which had been coveted for 108 years, high, and thus did
Millions of die-hard fans share in the utter jubulience that's won when
A well practiced, never-give-up
Championship-winning-team-like attitude embraces
A positively focused attitude no matter the odds
