I elect to be unanonymously ANGRY

For those of you that know my family, you all know the struggles that we've been through the past couple of years. The hardest struggle was losing my sweet niece Kylie Brielle Keith. Not only was losing her difficult, but trying to comfort my sister and brother-in-law while they faced the hardest decisions and situations of their lives. They've faced hard times, but they've made it through with faith, hope, and most of all Love. Recently, an anonymous poster posted some extremely hateful, painful, hurtful things on my sisters blog. I think this person is a coward for not owning up to their comments and opinions, I also think this means they are ashamed of what they were saying therefore they couldn't place their name with their words. I think they are insecure about their own lives, in turn placing blame and hate on others to make themselves feel better. I think this person is heartless, because anyone with a heart could never say such painful things. I pray that this person is not a friend of mine, and if they are, I hope I find out soon, because they do not deserve and ounce of my time. My family is my life. How dare you (anonymous poster) say things to stab my sister right in her grieving, suffering heart. Before you judged my sister and the life that she lives, you should remember that you will have a judgment day, I hope you enjoy what you find about yourself on that day.

Sincerely,
The UNanonymous angry sister!

bittersweet victory

     After several hours of sinking in, it is still hard to believe that we (auburn) have finally gained a national title. I feel that those boys deserved every point, every victory, and every championship they gained this football season. I have read and listened to harsh words spoken about my team and its players my entire life, and I knew that even in a season like this those harsh words would never be silenced. It seems to be the name of the game..less about football and more about accusations, jealousy, and down right tactless people making ignorant innuendos about a team and a group of fans. After every victory, I smiled especially after Monday night January 10th 2011, because I knew that no matter what anyone else thought or said or even did, no one could ever take these moments away from me. The passion that I feel about this football team and way of life can never be lessened or taken away by ignorance and jealousy. I couldn't imagine sitting on the edge of the couch with 2 seconds left in the BCS national championship game in a house full of anyone different than my daddy, my momma, and my sister. (the kids and brother in law and of course my hubby are included as well), but those 3 people are the 3 people I know I can always count on to have the exact same passion in Auburn as I do. My daddy made sure that we understood from birth what Auburn was, and I can never thank him enough for instilling those beliefs on me. The first thing I thought of when the ball sailed between the uprights was my dad, and how I couldn't wait to hug him because he has been waiting for this moment for a very long time. We've talked about it and dreamed about it. We've hoped and prayed for it. We always knew we would experience it, but never were quite sure when. His "War Eagles" mean so much. I couldn't have imagined celebrating that victory without him.

So I part with this, before you open your mouth to an Auburn fan with some ridiculous ignorant comment, remember the feeling of winning the BCS national championship game (which shouldn't be a problem considering y'all throw the amount of times you've won in our faces all the time) and know that no matter what you say, we're still national champs. ;) And we couldn't be more proud. WAR DAMN EAGLE <3
