Awesome!
It was last night ( July 25th, Tuesday) around 11:55 in terminal two of the San Antonio airport.
I was there waiting for my mom to get in. She is here from China for about a month. Moom changed planes in Houston and, how funny is this!, caught the same connecting flight as Bruce.![]()
I didn't know this when he came to the baggage area. He was a couple minutes ahead of my mom.
I saw him walking from a slight distance and had the thought, " Gosh that guy looks like Bruce."
I thought he was still in Vegas and that I was seeing things because I was tired.
But then he got closer and I saw Bruce's Team USA gear that he had slung over his arm.
I wanted to go up an congratulate him on making the team but he looked really sleepy. I knew how much I just wanted to get home and get some rest and imagined he felt all the more so.
He didn't see me ( I was about six feet away) as he headed to the luggage carousel so I just left it at that.
Of course I had to text Kori and tell her all about it.
I was doing that when my Mom came out. My mom knows me well. One of the first things she asked me was if I had seen Bruce.
She told me that when she recognized Bruce on her plane, she told him, " Oh my daughter is going to be as excited to see you as she is me." LOL.
I was still texting Kori as mom and I walked to the luggage carousel so it was complete coincidence on my part that we ended up about three feet behind Bruce.
Mom thought of something she wanted to say to Bruce so she went up to him.
I happened to look up briefly from my phone and saw that both Mom and Bruce were looking at me.
Mom then said, " That is my daughter" and " Wave."
I wasn't sure if that last part was a directive for me or Bruce.We both smiled and waved then I went back to my message. ( I type slow when I am tired. I know Kori is thinking, " Girl, your text was not that interesting.
)
Mom came back. I thought she was finished talking to Bruce but she just wanted to confirm with me that Bruce is a Christian. I said that he was and she went back and told him something more.
( I don't know what all Mom said. Maybe she will fill in the details later.)
I just thought it was so cute and hilarious how my mom was suddenly the family " Spurs groupie" while I stayed back guarding luggage.
Anyway it was a fun time. And now that I can finally tell you all my story, I am perfectly happy.![]()
Moms are great! That's too funny. In a mom-sort-of-way, your mom own3d you, Angel.
It must have been a miracle!
Congrats, Angie, that kind of stuff is always so much fun.
Cute story, Angel.
I didn't see your text message until 4:30am and then I thought it was too late to text back
Your mom is very cool. I'm sure Bruce enjoyed talking to her.
Cool story Angel. Thanks for sharing.
I know right!![]()

I briefly thought about waiting until around seven this morning to text you since it was so late, but then I realized that then was actually when you would likely be asleep.
Should we assume that if it had been Rasho, you would have been standing much closer to him than 3 ft and that you wouldn't even be thinking about texting Kori?![]()
You may so assume.![]()
tehe!![]()
Damn! I was an hour off!!
I work in terminal 2, but I think I would of rather meet angel_luv instead. :P
Awesome....!!! I'm sure you are thrilled to have your mom back in town though...
Have you gotten any other details from your mom??
I have to go... my library computer time is up.
I will post about mom the next time I am online- prob tomorrow around this time.
Bye all!
Library computer time? WTF? Go whack midget upside the head and demand more time!
what would you do if beno and rasho were their together?
Wouldn't that be awesome!![]()
I would say hi and then ask if the three of us could please take a picture together. I have wanted it for my avitar for forever now.![]()
No details yet from Mom. Her sleep cycle is still crazy from the time difference. When I see her tomorrow I will get the full report.![]()
I've met him and think he's a super guy.
I agree- Bruce is a great person.
That's good luck at it's finest.
You guys in San Antonio are lucky as , every other day there's a "(insert player name)" sighting! thread in here.
Great story angel, did your mom talk to Bruce on the plane or something?
Hey! We get great "Allen Iverson," "Willie Green," "Matt Barnes" sightings!!!![]()
The part about her telling Bruce about how happy I would be to see him was either in the Houston waiting area or on the plane... I am not sure which.
I am guessing she passed by him in first class when boarding.
