Family ties: How Toronto FC and my family became intertwined

Our adventure began on November 19, 2016 at the Air Canada Centre, as we strolled in to watch the main event of Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Samoa Joe at NXT Takeover: Toronto. The adventure culminated at its peak a few days later in Montreal, when we joined a few thousand diehards from Toronto who had made a similar trip to the Olympic Stadium to watch our beloved Reds take on the Impact in the Eastern Conference final.

Never mind the score. Even when it took 45 minutes to walk through the front gates, even when we fell back 3-0, even when the bathroom lines at the Big O reached around bends, even when the concourses ran out of food in the first half.
