Dad cracked Great jokes at my Mom and his in-laws for years about the Creole Belles and their futility; Dad was from East Texas and a Tom Landry's Cowboys fan...

But, when Gleason blocked that punt and Deloatch scored - Dad stood up clapped hard like when he coached us boys and said C'mon you SOBs we need this, and never sat down for the rest of the game...

Two of my aunts, two uncles and several of my cousins were double-dumbfounded - first by the play, but Dad's response took it to another level, we all had tears in our eyes...

That was a great moment shortly before he died that spring...
Happy memories make life worth living.

Edit: Your story really moved me jp.
