Sports are a huge part of my life.
I played baseball growing up, had a scholarship to a local Community College, one that produced quite a few current MLB players.
I tore my Achilles my junior year of high school, and never played baseball again. I don’t tell that story for pity. I tell it because sometimes life has a way of making you pivot.
You find “that person” and you feel like, this could go the distance. Cake (the band) wrote “He’s going the distance, he’s going for speed, she’s all alone in her time of need.” Sometimes we make sacrifices for people we care about. Even if it’s not what WE want, or even what THEY want.
If you have your person, support them. In everything they do. Don’t expect them to fail. Because then you have set them up for failure. Instead, believe in them, no matter what. And if they fail, pick them up. No “I told you so” or “well I knew that wouldn’t work”
Love each other. Sometimes you’re all they have.
