Last night I was on Facebook and decided to see what my cousins have been up to. I went from page to page “liking” photos and thinking about how long it has been since I’ve seen them. My last stop was my cousin Meghan’s page.

Meghan recently completed a half marathon. Serious kudos to her. It was great to see pictures of her and her family at the event, but what stole the show were the signs her husband made to cheer her on to the finish line:

And he was serious. He did not want to be disturbed. In fact, he got so upset with me that he filed a complaint with his father:

Maybe a cheering section isn’t the answer after all.
