Villanova now in the final four. Some thought it would not happen.
I was a really sick baby born in 1984 and in 1985. By then I didn't know much about college basketball or even knowing what Villanova was about. I had to deal with my own problems. Suffering from a three chambered heart, a minor stroke during a surgery and having pneumonia going through all this hell.
But all I could remember is my mom was there the whole time, taking care of me. My dad, along with most of the nurses at the time were glued to the tv when they were against Georgetown and let's say there were a lot of screams of joy that year in CHOP. Some of the nurses majored in nursing in Villanova university and they were happy, and my dad let's say did flip flops of excitement at home while I was sick with pneumonia. His best and worst night ever in his life. But I survived and every march madness I say to him, "I promise not to get sick"
It has worked but sadly Villanova hasn't been to the final four in a long time. Sweet sixteen yes many times, and on occasion, They would be in eights, and now 2016, 31 years later.... It could happen all over again, you never know.
All they have to do is defeat Oklahoma and then the top two. We'll see what happens. To me, I'm happy for them no matter how far they have gotten, but deep down, I live with a father who bleeds Villanova. Born in Philly, Conceived in Canada but his heart beats for the Wildcats since he went to major in Accounting so long ago.
For me, I could go either way, If they win this year.... we will all be freaking happy and if they don't make it to the top two, they are still champions. Good luck Wildcats. Party like it's 1985
