This month was such a blur. Last year was the worst ending to a ridiculously magical season. And this year the Royals had the most amazing season. And then the playoffs started.
I thought it was over in Houston in game four. I was convinced that this was it and we weren't going to make it any further. And then they came back. And then I just kind of felt like it had to happen this year. I was able to make it back to KC for ALDS game two. It was my very first playoff game that I have ever been to. This was something I had been dreaming about since I became a fan way back in 2000. And it was every bit as awesome as I imagined it would be. I watched the rest of the playoff games at home alone, at bars with friends, and with other Royals fans here. The last game I watched alone because I wanted to be able to be as crazy as I needed to be and so I could chat with my sisters. That night I honestly started to cry as the national anthem was being sung because I just felt like it would end that night. I started to cry again in the 12th when we went ahead. And then we won and I just couldn't stop smiling.
I went home for the celebration. It was so amazing to see the city so united to celebrate what the Royals did. They never quit. They said they were going to do it and they did. They erased the hurt of last year and turned it into an even more amazing story. I have never been so proud to be a Royals fan and of my city. We took the Crown.
