THE GOAL

It was a warm day.  It was Saturday.  Dad and I were in a hurry to get to the soccer matches in Alder grove.  Dad checked to see if I had the address.  Sure I replied.  A beautiful day for a drive but after driving a while we realized we had  the wrong address.  Fortunately we could phone Theresa on the cell.  We arrived and there was no parking so we squeezed in a non parking spot.

We walked a long way to the farthest field only to find the first game was over and we had to move to another place.

Morgan had to leave her sandy spot to help carry a chair for Grannie.

The game started soon after we got settled with our juice boxes and crackers and cheese.

I try hard to get a picture of Ben.  I think this is him.

It as in the second half that Ben got a beautiful goal.  They were very hot and tired after the second game.  Sandra wants to come to the next game.  She would have come with us but she thought it was in the afternoon.

Wow what an exciting game!  Ben is number 15.

Grannie and great grandpa were very tired out on the drive home and both had a nap.

Over the years we have so enjoyed watching our children and then their children in their various activities.  How amazing now to be watching our great grand children.  It must be one of the rewards of living so long.

Dad and I felt sad after the funeral although I know it is the celebration of a good man's life!  It is interesting all the things you learn about a person after they have gone.

I am so happy that I can write about the things that matter to me and share my thoughts with very dear and precious people; some I even brought into this world.
Each of our lives is a story waiting to be told and retold.
