The Royal Treatment

Wow, the tears have flowed freely over the last few days. I wasn't quite sure what was causing it, beyond the normal, but realized finally after sobbing quietly as two of my children slept beside in bed last night that it is this whole Royals deal. I am taking the kids to the Royals game tomorrow, and it has caused some very special memories to resurface. It is also causing some anxiety, while also causing some unexpected excitement.

Brian loved the Royals. He was a diehard fan, never giving up on them. He had George Brett cleats. He had quite a Royals collection.

And he asked me to marry him at a Royals game.

For that reason, I have purchased a brick in memory of Tye's Daddy, so that Brian could always be there with Tye when he goes to a game. Brian wanted so much to take his son and go enjoy a game. So I will take him tomorrow instead. My Eickholt family also purchased a brick, so there are 2 with his name on them. Stacy and her family found that one when they were at a game a few months back, but we have not found the one I purchased. I hope to tomorrow.

So while the sadness has crept in, I do hope the excitement will overtake those feelings and we can enjoy a beautiful day together.
