This Game.

This game.

Today I stayed till the last person left…that was my assistant coach.

And I just sat.

I sat in silence.

I listened to wind blow, the birds chirp and cars drive by here and there.

But most importantly, I sat quietly and took it all in.

No music, no talking…just me, myself, my thoughts and this beautiful baseball field we’re blessed to play on.

I stayed for an hour mulling over our ups and downs and to be honest asking God if I need to change some things.

I didn’t hear much back.

But I did acknowledge one thing…

And that was, that this game has been such a part of my life and my kids lives as well…

That it’s taught me so much and given me countless memories I’ll hold forever.

Life lessons have been learned between these lines…

I got both phone calls that each of my grandparents passed while I was at a baseball field.

I was at a baseball field coaching days after I lost my marriage.

I have watched my kids grow before my very eyes at a baseball field…

I’ve also been blessed to help guide and mold so many young lives and that I will never take for granted…

Some days I feel like I’m making a difference…

Others I feel like a fall short

But I can tell you one thing…

If I had a choice of where to take my last breath…it would be at a baseball field…

I love this Game (even when it feels she don’t love me back…)
