This is the story about a 89 year old grandmother and her grandson. The grandmother was a huge Patriots fan. She died two months before the Superbowl and when I came to this paragraph, I felt I should share her story:
"She died the following Monday. My mom called to tell me, and I stoically made plans to return for the funeral. An hour later, I got a text saying that my grandmother was going to be cremated with the Tom Brady jersey. Then I cried, thinking that if she hadn’t just died, my grandmother could be elected mayor of Boston on that platform alone. I later joked to my parents that I couldn’t control my tears because I’d paid like a hundred dollars for that shirt. I think she would have appreciated it."
