I am not a baseball fan, but my brother in law is and Lauren (RIP) was. I remember watching Lauren get excited for her Cubbies - knowing year after year they would fail. I ended up watching the stupid game last night (dumb rain delay) - with the spirit of Lauren.
Sure, I don't believe all that after-life crap, but if I did and if I was emotional last night for a friend that I miss terribly and if the stars were aligned then I might have heard a final sigh and smile as my dear friend finally saw her Cubbies win.
