darn...i want so much not to say anything about that heart wrenching post that Annie made...but i just can't contain myself. I have to say something.
True as it is, If I had any way of being there and supporting the man, specially now when he's not doing well, i'd still want to be there,to show my support. It's when he needs it most. I don't want to talk about his retirement or whatever before he says it himself. I believe in the power of the "Spoken Words", or in this case "Typed Words". It's like, calling the fates before they are ready. I still do want to believe that this is just a prolonged phase...and i am very much hoping that it will be over soon, and he will again show us what he's got that I know is still in there. As a fan who's been here since, i could remember as early as 2000 (maybe a bit earlier, i'm not sure), i've seen the ups and downs of his career, and all i can say is, as wild as it was and still is...it's been(and still is) the most exciting ride i've ever been on. I'm sticking to it, and hold on to it till the end...or maybe even after, if he choose to do something else...
Just for me, it's just not the tennis, or the skills, or whatever it is that he does on court that has endeared this guy to me --and i'm not talking about the fanatical teen-age girly thing way-- it's the man himself...now, i know that i don't know him well enough to really say what kind of person he is...but what i know of him is enough for me to like him as a person...and i don't think any other player will ever replace him as one of My Most Favorite People in the World list...after all, it is him that lead me to all of you. And it's one of the things that i'm grateful to him for.
I guess i'm kinda treating the guy like he's my friend now, since he's been a part of my life, like 8 years or more now --even though he doesn't know me...and might never do --and with that, i guess my mentality with this matter is...you don't turn your back on your friends when they need your support the most. He might not know that, may never do, but who knows...maybe someday, if i get the chance to tell him in some way, wouldn't it be great to tell him, --that when everything is said and done, and over with, and nobody else was left, --"You know what? I stuck with you to the end, that i'm still here to support you in whatever you wanna do."...and mean it too, because it's true?
I'm not trying to argue with anyone who's opinion is not the same as mine. But like i said, it is my opinion. That's just how I am. And i apologize if i seem to be over dramatic...i get really emotional sometimes. (Yeah, don't worry i'm not about to cry...
)
So...to sum it up...I'm sticking with the guy...no matter what...And i prefer to be positive.
