I had GREAT seats; Dad Has BETTER

The score was ultimately 27-13 in Nevada's favor thanks to some crappy calls by the WAC refs but my very first in-stadium BYU home game was incredible! Being disabled, I took my electric wheelchair with me so I could avoid having to climb too many stairs.  I didn't know we would end up seven stairs away from the side of the field! The only problem (besides the refs), we sat on the side with the National Guard's cannon...
On another note, I've recently found a painting that immediately made me cry when I came across it downstairs in the BYU bookstore.  It's by Jon McNaughton, an LDS artist. It's titled Parting of the Veil (The Second Coming) you can see it here Parting of the Veil. The images were so beautiful and vivid to my spirit that I wept right there in the store.  My heart and mind were filled with the knowledge that I will see my dad again when Christ returns to this earth.  Yet, my tears at the time were sadness because I do not know how long that will be. 
I made sure to take as many memories of Daddy with me to the game yesterday: a hat I bought him at Disneyland a few years back and a BYU blanket I got him for Christmas last year. I even made sure to mutter under my breath a time or two like he did when the game was going south.  He would have loved the seats I had but like my sister texted to me just before the game started, he has better ones.
