Big Brother Duties
We were talking about our favorite John stories last night in remembrance and I kept this one to post.
For my first college senior game at St. Mary's College (when I was a senior in academic standing, not yet realizing that since I was only a third year in sport standing and that I would return for a fourth soccer season) John was my family member to walk me out on the field. It was in the middle of the week and both Mom and Dad were out of town that week (but made all other home games). So John took off work and came all the way down to St. Mary's County to walk me to center field as they introduced me with the rest of my senior class. I don't really remember the game or if we won, but I do remember him cheering for me when I made a save in the first half. (He left before the end of the game to return back to work). It really meant a lot to me but even more to him because it gave him a free card to not attend my three hour college graduation ceremony but was sure there for the after party. (And at this time, I do have to give props to Mike for flying out to Southern MD to make the ceremony and surprise me.)
Thanks John for walking me out.
And this post is in true John form, since it is a whole day late.
Love you and Miss you a lot!
Your little Sis.
