It DID happen. The Cleveland Cavaliers are NBA Champions.
The pure bliss expressed by the team, the fans, and my own husband at the moment of victory, are moments you live for. There are very few times in life when you get to experience pure, genuine emotion. When you get to experience those pure, genuine emotions with not only people that are important to you, but also the masses, THAT is a feeling that is indescribable.
It has been a long time coming. It was worth the wait.
Why has Cleveland continued to support their sports teams through all of the adversity? Cleveland fans love their teams because the teams are a direct reflection of the city. Scrappy underdogs that do not ask for much and do not get much. Hard workers that believe with perseverance and faith, your dreams will be realized. People that no matter what others may say, keep their heads up and continue to move towards a greater goal.
While an NBA Championship may seem trivial, it is exactly what we needed. I truly believe it reignited the faith of so many that started to believe there is no light at the end of the tunnel. It proved that you should never give up. It demonstrated that we need each other, be kind and work together, we will come out on top.
Yes, Cleveland, there is a Santa Claus. Believe and keep your dreams alive. Time is not up until the clock is at zero. It is never too late to accomplish what everyone else says that you cannot. When you think that you cannot go on, dig deep inside and find that motivation to keep going. This is OUR time. Enjoy every moment, and use this as motivation to keep YOUR fire burning.
Mike purchased this cigar in 1997 in the afternoon before game 7 of the World Series. He thought he would get to smoke it after the Indians won the World Series. That was not to be. He has held on to it all this time. He finally got to enjoy this cigar last night.
