Mothers Of Athletes
For My Mother
Quote appearing on print:
"Though I have not told you enough, I am telling you now. Through my eyes, this
is the story of my love and appreciation thanking you for all you do and have
done for me. Your sacrifices to make me a better person and athlete have never
gone unrecognized. My remembrances of you: "I looked out the front window and
saw you, alone, shopping bag cradled in your arms. In one hour, I will race out
of the house to go to my game, and you will watch my departure as you always do,
out the same front window. But not before you had warmed a plate for me, as I
never left the house hungry. Yet I always left the house hungry. Hungry for the
chance to compete another day. Hungry to be better than my opponent. Hungry to
win this game. It is because you watch me out that window, because you pray for
me as I walk down the street, because your sideline seats are never empty, and
because I know there is no real strength in this world save for that which is
instilled or inspired by you. Were you not here, I would not be complete. It is
in these moments when I see you, Mother: When there is a home in this world I
know, where the image of your beautiful smile in that window is once again
etched inside a memory that will never forget. When I look in your eyes, I see
that you understand the spirit inside me that needs to compete. So late at
night, when I lie awake in bed, realizing your unconditional love for me as I
hear your footsteps walking away from my bedroom door, I know I am not the sole
host to a fighting heart. We fight together to survive, you and I, mother and
child. You are the cornerstone holding this family together." Give me the ball!
This game is For My Mother."
