Greetings, writers— I want to tell you a story that, plot-wise, isn’t much of one; nevertheless I’ve teared up every time I’ve recounted it. It happened on Senior Night at a high school basketball game. I don’t have a senior in high school; I don’t even have a kid who plays basketball. But Tuesday night found us at the Cleveland gym anyway, watching girls we’ve known since they were kindergartners playing on the JV team. And the game, which we won easily, was so fun that we decided to stay for varsity.
What a powerful story, Emily! Thank you for sharing. I love hearing about a high school athlete's triumph over adversity and the whole crowd on their feet for her, especially since my boys are both now away at college and my days of cheering them on at cross country meets are behind me!
