Day 17 - On this day I am thankful for all the sports teams my kids have enjoyed growing up. We have been fortunate enough to enjoy baseball, football, wrestling, track, softball and basketball. I am so thankful for all the coaches we have known that have been dedicated to teaching all of our children. Through sports, they have learned responsibility, respect, punctuality, how to play with others, how to win like a champion and how to lose gracefully. We have sat for many, many hours in hot gyms, and traveled many miles to watch a softball game in 100 degree heat and 25 degree cold. We have fussed, laughed, cried and loved - but above all, we have supported the kids, and thats what has always mattered the most. We have been a part of many team families thru the years. I am thankful for all, but at the top of my lists would have to be Shannon & Donald Petering, Coaches Puckett, Mullis, & McKinney for teaching our girls how to be the best possible dang softball players they could be....and how to never give up. I am thankful for Doug Thurmond and Bob Gurley for their endless hours and dedication to our young men, and to Tommy Knight for teaching them how to be respectful young men, and always having that watchful, protective eye on our girls. I am thankful for Lawanna Davidson Laird for being the loudest cheerleader of all =) and for always being there to defend our girls and to love them when they needed it. Thank you for all you have done.... We have been very, very blessed.
