It's been such a fun year being a part of Atlanta United's inaugural season...
As Granna stated, indeed the games have become John Caden's "Happy Place"...although I don't think he's been too happy about all the pictures I've made him stop and take...
We were part of MLS record attendance records...
We had the privilege of participating in a "behind the scenes" photoshoot...
We were able to meet lots of Atlanta United "celebrities" such as Darren Eales, President of Atlanta United, FC...
But I believe one of our most favorite memories will be of "Miss Cynthia"...
As Atlanta United season ticket holders, our family
(particularly John Caden) came to look forward to seeing our section’s seat
attendant (“Miss Cynthia”) at each game we attended. She always greeted him
with a hug before the game and high-fives afterwards. Such a sweet friendship
developed between these two as the season progressed due to her taking the time
every game to take a personal interest in him--asking how his week was going,
asking how his own soccer games had gone, etc. At one game in which we upgraded
to Club seats and did not sit in our normal section, he requested that we
still go up and see Miss Cynthia. We’re going to miss our visits with her now
that the season has drawn to a close, but what a blessing it’s been to have had
her friendly smile add a ray of sunshine to our lives over the past few
months.
