Randy Soccer

Randy at the welcome back celebration.

The agony of defeat.

Randy spends a lot of time away during the soccer season. By the end of the season I am DONE being what I like to call a "soccer widow" and am more than ready for my husband to be home more often. All that being said, at the end of this game, I saw first hand what Randy means to these kids. I saw them look to him, and him modeling how to handle this whole situation. It is easy to show character when you win but much more difficult to do so when you don't. Any frustration that I had been feeling about the time Randy spends away from home melted away at this moment. I finally saw clearly, the impact he is having on these wonderful young people.
