OK, let me break down for you why last night was, “The Best day of my life!” I need to begin my explanation probably somewhere in the late summer when Sean and I were both sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast. I was wearing my newly purchased/received Georgia football T-shirt:
I really liked it because every T-shirt I get from Fanatics is really comfortable! This fact is really important to me because having MS makes you more sensitive to fabrics among other things. I did none on a university of Georgia T-shirt and I liked this one. Because I am a Michigan fan, OF COOURSE I had to see if they had a comparable shirt.
I had just found out the night before that they do. I asked Sean if he would rather have a gray Michigan shirt with blue writing shirt, like the one I was wearing, or a Navy Michigan shirt with yellow writing. He thought for a moment and told me that he would prefer the navy T-shirt. I nodded thinking that I’ll take the gray one! So, for Christmas, I bought him this shirt:
And therefore, I bought this shirt for myself:
As Sean opened his present, I told him that we will coordinate days of wearing the shirts so that we could be, “Matchers.” and he smiled as I laughed! Well, fast forward to last night. My Mom had arrived to my house late to get me ready for bed. She needs to come over to take the patches for my tens unit off of my knee so my skin doesn’t break down during the night.
Because she had come over late, we were just finishing up as Sean came home from being out with his friends. We decided it would be easier for Sean just to put me into bed because he is taller and stronger than my Mom. Sean took his jacket off as I was sitting in my wheelchair beside my bed. Wouldn’t you know?! He was wearing his Michigan football T-shirt at the same time I was wearing my Michigan football T-shirt!!!
I grabbed my shirt and pointed to his shirt, smiled, and begin to laugh! I told him that this was the best day of my life! He kind of chuckled at my extreme excitement for us to wear the same shirt. As he put me into bed, I told him that I have been waiting since Christmas for this day! He kind of shook his head and chuckled.
what can I say?! Simple pleasures man! I thought about writing a blog post recounting last night and I thought of that American Authors song.
This song came out in 2013 so when I was working at Barwis with Adam (Phil) it was common for the song to come on the radio. When I heard it one day, I said to Phil that, “I like this song!” Phil told me that I didn’t know this song and I corrected him by saying that I teach middle school and my son likes this song as well. For good measure, I counted along with the music, the part where they say, “2,3,4.” I only thought of this instance because I told Sean last night that sing us wear the same shirt on the same day was, “The Best day of my life!”
