Wait til "next year"

Born a Cubs fan... raised a Cubs fan.  The familiar words "Wait til next year.." are the norm.

That is until this special season.

I think back to fall 2015, the Cubs are in the playoffs again.  I'm at the hospital with my Mom and she says, "They are too young, it won't happen this year.. maybe next year."

"OK"... I think and I think nothing of it.

Mom passed away February 2nd surrounded by her family... and the season hadn't even started yet.

Fast forward to April 4, 2016.. opening day, all star break, and the regulars season best record in MLB and NL Central Title.  (Won by 17 1/2 games)....

Next up, the Playoffs... beating San Francisco and then the Dodgers... is this real?

Next up, the Indians.  Let's just call up Chief Wahoo.... seriously... what a matchup!

Down 3 games to 1.... the Cubs came back to win the final three....... and 6 and 7 on the road..... :). Bye bye Billy Goat... Bye bye Curse..... we are the champions!  Mom, this one was for you!
