Ladies,
Some days, however unlikely, seem to make the greatest memories. Today was truly dismal. Grey skies, a constant drizzle, and wet course didn't really promise much fun. And I guess for me it really wasn't, standing in the rain watching you girls run. And then maybe it was.
I watched the group of you disappear into the hills and trees, your chatter fading into the distance, heads whipping back and forth in conversation. I don't know what you were discussing. Maybe it was about the day, or your plans for the evening. It could have anything, it didn't matter. It was a moment, a beautiful, perfect moment, something that sticks in the mind and resurrects later on in life. You may not know it now, but these are the kinds of memories that will populate your nostalgic dreams in years to come.
There is a specialness about belonging to a group of people you enjoy. It is so rare a thing, to have people like that to share your activity. I can only enjoy it vicariously through your eyes, from afar. That is as it should be; my time is past. Watching you ladies reminds me of my sports teams from long ago, the great teams, and it warms my heart. I can be young again, just for a while, when I watch you share that friendship.
In reality though, it's your team. These are your memories you are collecting. I only suggest you keep your eyes and hearts open to what happens every day, storing these precious images. The time flies by so fast!
I'm proud of you all. I'm proud to be a part of this. I hope you all know how special you truly are.
