There are many things in life that are unexpected, and me becoming a Jazz fan was definitely one of them! Kaleb has always watched the Jazz, but I literally have no memory of it until we moved into our house and got a big TV to watch the games on. April and Luke started to come over to watch the games too, and I thought they were soooooo boring! But then I actually started to watch and started to know what was going on and who the players were. And then I became a huge fan of Deron Williams and I was hooked! Now I do not miss watching a game unless I absolutely have too. I know all the players, I yell, I scream, I cheer. Deron Williams made me love the Utah Jazz and the game of basketball. And now he is gone. Traded to the Nets, and I feel like I have lost a good friend.
For Kalebs birthday 2 years ago I did a whole jazz room for him. Deron has been a part of our family and is there every game. And last night I had to take him down.
My kids were trying to look sad....didn't work so well! :) they are huge fans also! We are a Jazz family.
I always knew there was a big possibility that I would have to take him down one day, I just never thought it would be so soon.
But now he is gone, and I admit, it was really hard for me to let go.
But Kaleb reminded me of something, I am a JAZZ fan, not a Deron Williams fan. I wish him the best. I definitely will miss him. I don't know if I'll ever love another player like I did him. But we will see. I am still always and forever a Jazz fan and I know that there are good things to come. And for those of you laughing your heads off at me :) I totally and completely understand my insanity!!! I just can't help it.
