Let’s Go, Giants!
Back in 2013, November 10th was a Sunday, so obviously, the Mauro family was watching some football.
Mikey had his football helmet from his Halloween costume. He was wearing a jersey that was a gift from family who had recently gone to a game. And of course, he was holding a football…that I’m sure got tossed to our dogs outside during half time.
Watching football is a lifelong hobby. Mikey will be able to do this with friends and family for as long as he likes. And, even if it wasn’t, we’d do it because it really makes him happy!
