Revisiting this time 2022
I tried so hard to let this last weekend, be a normal super bowl weekend. It was far from it.
I looked at our boarding passes from our trip last year this time to celebrate my bday. I honestly was so excited to spend my 40th bday in Vegas with you and we were just gonna do everything to have a blast.
Vegas was so much fun, this was really the Vegas trip that got me hyped to the idea of partying all through Friday night into Saturday morning. We ate, drank, and partied to celebrate but the best was yet to come.
This particular trip, hanging out at the airport was the best part of the trip. We did our normal thing of getting there early and playing some games and chilling. I remember waiting for you to be done with the bathroom at some seats close to our gate. You came back with a bag full of things for me. A shot glass, ashtray, and flask all matching for my b day. Wasn’t the most thoughtful gift anyone has gotten me. But I knew you tried your best given the limited options at the airport.
We got on the plane, first class seats of course because it was my 40th!! We sat down just in time for me to start watching the Super Bowl. I was so excited about the trip I completely forgot it was super bowl weekend until we got on the plane.
To be honest, this best super bowl I have ever had, and I have had many super bowl parties in my life. It was perfect with our chips and sandwiches for dinner. You were watching a movie or something, and I was heavily invested in watching Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase do the impossible.
Talk about the best Super Bowl? The halftime show was fucking epic!! Dr Dre, Eminem, 50 cent, snoop, Kendric, and a tribute to my guy Pac. I remember just me and everyone on the plane jamming to the half time show. You looked at my screen and kept looking. I reached over to your screen and I set it to the Super Bowl for you to watch and hear on your screen and headphones.
For that one moment, I felt like I complemented you, just as you complemented me. We would have some other moments like that. But, that was the moment I fell in love with you Mary. That is why this weekend is so hard, this weekend wasn’t just my 40th b day. It was the first moment I fell in love with you and told myself I was gonna spend this year making her the happiest woman I could.
But this is also why it hurts so much.
