Last year the Kansas City Chiefs made it to the AFC playoff game where they suffered a heartbreaking loss in overtime to the New England Patriots. My son Evan was as devastated by the loss as any old-timer Chiefs fan surely was that day. Maybe more! While consoling him, I remember being selfishly concerned that I may have lost my football watching buddy. Being a fan can be rough!

My concern was misplaced. It wasn’t long after that Evan drew this Chiefs player, brow furrowed with determination, running in a touchdown. He was sure the Chiefs were going to take care of business next time. Now here we are a year later and the Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl!

This is what’s great about art made by kids . I feel like a grown up would never draw a picture of their favorite team right after a season-ending defeat.…..but a kid? Oh heck yes, pass the paper and crayons. With one quick sketch, disappointment can become determination! That’s why I like this drawing. I need that reminder.

By the way….I have no idea what the light blue thing in the end zone is.

GO CHIEFS!!!
