'We just want the Oregon Ducks to know ... there is a little Angel watching over you'
By KVAL.com staffEUGENE, Ore. -- What do Ducks coach Chip Kelly, the rock band Journey and country music legend Charlie Daniels have in common? No, the devil didn't take the midnight train to Autzen Stadium. Don't stop believing -- but no. They do share an Angel, however. In Oklahoma, no less. Angel Wilson, 13, of Moore, Okla., has severe cerebral palsey and has had brain damage from birth, her parents tell KVAL News. She is also a softy for the green and yellow of the Oregon Ducks. "Whenever their games are shown on local TV throughout the Oklahoma City area," her father Billy Wilson wrote KVAL News, "as soon as Angel sees the green and yellow, there seems to be a twinkle that appears in her eyes and a beautiful smile comes to her face! Angel just really seems to love watching the Ducks. When they are on TV, she gets that special look in her eyes, and she just smiles from ear to ear." "We just want to say thank you to Coach Kelly, the coaching staff and the Oregon Ducks football team for being so nice to Angel," her parents wrote. "She doesn't get to do alot because of her many disabilities, so whenever someone goes out of there way to do something nice like this for her, well it means the world to us! We just want the Oregon Ducks to know that Angel may be 1,900 miles away from the football stadium there, but whenever you play a game from now on just realize that there is a little Angel in Oklahoma watching over you!" |
