There in Spirit

Aaron's friend Jim is another huge Hawthorn fan.  Whenever they saw each other all they would talk about was footy and the Hawks.  Jim and his wife Kristen have been living in Melbourne for a few years now, and are lucky to be able to go watch the live games more regularly. 

I couldn't stop smiling last Friday night when Kristen posted a photo on Facebook of them at the MCG - together with Aaron's funeral program.  Jim had grabbed it and put it down his jacket, and pulled it out when they got to the train station.  He decided Aaron needed to go to the game with them.

I have no doubt that Aaron was not only there on paper, but also in spirit.  He would be loving this season so much.  He must be pulling a few strings 'upstairs'.
