Do you see that smile?
She was granted permission by the orthopedic PA to play soccer again. The toe she broke June 8th was finally ok. PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!
All season long she donned her uniform when she went to cheer on the other players. Today she donned it, as well as her cleats, with a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, the coach would let her play a bit in the first play off game.
I hate to admit it, but I was skeptical. Why, I reasoned, would a coach put in a player he had never seen play or practice in a PLAY-OFF game?
I dropped her off, and headed back to the house to pay the Spanish teacher and get up the baby. I then headed back to the field.
Many fields were in use as a number of games were going on. I couldn’t figure out which field was hers because I couldn’t see her on the sidelines anywhere.
That’s because SHE WAS PLAYING!!!
Why would the coach let her play? I’m not 100% sure, but I think it has a lot to do with him caring more about GRACE than goals.
