Basketball season comes to a close, not quite the ending I wanted but ya can't win 'em all. through out this season my team hasbeen there for me, helping me along. My coach has been there for me, building me as a player. But after one year of hockey, six years of basketball, and three years of football. no one has beenn there throughout those times like my father has. Coming to every game he possibly could to support me, to pick me up, or on the rare occasion slap me upside the head and tell me to get going. Dad, your prayers with me before games meant so much, courage, strength, grace, intregrity, love, and even more. You are a guide to life, a staff to help me along, a map to show somewhat of a way, and a man that I will strive to emulate. God certianly shows himself through you and I'm so grateful for your support.
And who can forget the brains of the operation. A Mom, but not just any mom, MY MOM. Reluctant at first to give in to things like football, but in the end the last to let go. Mom who washed my uniforms when I forgot. The most excited after a win and the most downhearted it seemed after a loss. Always ready to hold me :) no matter how big I have gotten. Finding you after a game for my all done hug was my light at the end of the game, and what a beautiful light you are. Unselfish, self sacrificing, all encompassing love. A mom in every sense of the word. Thankyou for the gift that only a mommy can give... a mothers love.
And to my ever supportive family. I love you all
What a blessing you all are!!!
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Philippians 4:5
A true blessing.
