All That Really Matters
I suppose every great athlete has a story of how it all began, the moment they knew. I’m not sure if last night will be the impetus for launching Zane’s athletic career but this is certain–it didn’t hurt.
Zane has taken a new role this football season, that of water boy to our local high school football team, The Comets. There were four little boys all Zane’s age who were asked to help the team. And while three of them played games, popping each other with towels, chasing and tackling one another on the sidelines, Zane stood at the helm ready for action.
Each time the team took a time out or substituted offensive and defensive players, Zane was there armed with a dry towel and cool water. He took his role to heart considering his contribution to the team just as important as the star quarterback or standout linebacker. He had an absolute blast. Though our team lost (by one point) Zane was not disappointed for he knew that he had given his best and after all, “that’s what really matters,” he said on the way back to the van.
I will forever remember it as a proud Daddy moment.
