<p>Happy Birthday Honey- a trip to the Congo!</p>

<p>THAT is BEAUTIFUL!</p>

<p>Neat story! Sounds like a family with their values in the right place. Gives me another reason to cheer for the Seahawks, too, besides the fact that they come from the Pacific NW.</p>

<p>So while Coach Holmgren returns to the familiar adrenaline and pageantry of the Super Bowl, Kathy will look into the faces of people she meets in Congo, wondering if she’s met them before. “I was thinking just the other day about a little baby I helped deliver when I was there [after college],” Kathy said, “and wondered if that little boy is now 35 or 36, and if I’ll meet him…”</p>

<p>[…]</p>

<p>There’s no doubt that football is important to the Holmgren family. “Football is what allows us to go, to reach out to a lot of people,” Kathy said. “But it’s entertainment. This [mission] is life and death."</p>

5

<p>I’m still rooting for the STEELERS!!! but now I’ll feel ok if by some absolute miracle the Seahawks win. The Holmgrens sound like very decent human beings.</p>

6

<p>I only wish I could get my husband to admit that it is entertainment and not life or death</p>

7

<p>Well someone has been quoted as having said -almost that is- the following:</p>

<p>“Football isn’t a matter of life or death, it’s much more important than that”</p>

<p>Of course, the person referred to the football played on the other side of the Atlantic.</p>

<p>PS I hope the Seahawks totally destroy the Steelers, but I probably won’t watch this yawner of a game. I had MY Super Bowl on January 4th and THAT game will carry me easily to August when we start again. </p>

<p>Well, unless I finish the laundry early. :)</p>

I so understand how your husband feels, especially when my team is playing, but this is a very nice story, isn’t it? The Holmgren family sounds like a wonderful family and I really respect their dedication. I still have a feeling the Steelers will win, but I won’t be disappointed if the Seahawks do. Well, I might be a smidge disappointed … I’d like to see an AFC team take home the trophy. Very nice story. Thanks for sharing it!</p>

<p>wow. I would say impressive, but you just know that isn’t why she is doing it.</p>

<p>Go Seahawks!!!</p>

<p>So she could not have delayed her trip (or planned it better) to be with her husband while he goes through one of the best moments in his life or the absolute worst moment in his life? I don’t sense a team player.</p>

<p>So, razorsharp, you should take it up with Coach Holmgren whose sense of priorities obviously differs from yours:</p>
