"Is this Heaven?"... "No, its Iowa". The line from the iconic movie describes best how we found love and happiness on the field that spread into something greater. Having love of the game, becoming friends, and then finding a love for each other that can stand the test of time!
Moonlight Graham in the same movie said, "You know, we just don’t recognize the most significant moments of our lives while they’re happening." Thats why we take the game of life one day at a time and leave it all on the field in which we create together. To quote Amanda... "We. Don't. Lose."
"They’ll watch the game, and it’ll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. (Terrance Mann)" Ever day is a blessing. There are no two days alike and we enjoy showing our children everything there is to offer in the world. We love. We parent. We coach. We battle on together. Even if a curve is thrown, we balance each other, relying on the other to look and say, "we got this", and don't let the pressure to win the game make you forget the fun of playing.
We are not only best friends, or lovers... we are teammates in this crazy journey that is called life.
Who knew that the love of the game, would turn into so much more!
