this story makes me bummed...

As most of you know I have been a long time golfer- I got my first set of golf clubs when I made my 1st communion in 2nd grade from Grandma and Grampa Whelan. I have followed and watched lots of golf- one of my favorite Sunday afternoon past times is to sit around watching the final round of what-ever tournament might be on. exciting I know!  I never was a Tiger(Woods) fan. I thought he was cocky, arrogant and annoying- that was until I overlooked his 'Tiger-ness' and just started watching him play golf. His mental compacity on the golf course is like no other, his ability to hit a shot from under a tree and stick it 2 feet from the pin is pretty amazing, his toughness to play through a knee injury and his desire for a private life with his wife and children were something that I really admired about him.





That was until today.
  When the news broke that Tiger was in a car accident I got nervous! Then I heard there was something a little strange about the whole thing and there was more to the story. I didn't beleive it!  I kept telling Nathan and I that I knew all of the cheating allegations were false. My therory?
   He had a sick kid- was being a great dad/husband and was running to the store to get something they needed. He was tired from being up with the baby, feel asleep @ the wheel and crashed his SUV.
OK no laughing... I really thought this is what probably happened.

Boy was I wrong and now I am bummed. I have been following the story and still can't believe it. Yes I know he is an athlete, but for some reason I thought he was a great role model and not a cheater. I have so many thoughts... my first was- what about his wife, children and mother- my heart breaks for them. my second...  How could he? He is married to a beautiful wife, has two healthy beautiful children and an amazing golf career. What could be so great to risk throwing that all away.   My next thought was what kind-of woman KNOWS, and thinks its OK, to sleep with a married man that his two children? She is just as wrong as he is in my opinion. My last thought - what now?   I guess we will have to wait and see...until then I will just have to say my 'thank you' prayers for my wonderful, loyal husband. How thankful I am for him!
