Daughters Lettermans Jacket

Wiszard · Sep 20, 2012

My daughter earned her lettermans jacket last year, her freshman year, playing varsity softball. She's always been a straight A student. What makes this unique is that she had her second open heart surgery where they replaced her aortic valve with a pig valve in August. A few of the teachers she had prior to her surgery kicked in money to buy Stevie her lettermans jacket. This brought tears to mine and my wifes eyes that her teachers would do such a kind thing. The saying on the bottom of her jacket was a quote that was synonomous with my wifes late brother who coached soccer prior to an early death..."Play Hard, Play Fair". Stevie wanted that on her jacket as a tribute to her Uncle. It is the little things in life that have a big impact on others. Just remember that your problems may be minisucle to what others have to endure on a daily basis. Our trivial problems really are small compared to what others go through...maybe give your wife or kids an unexpected kiss or hug. They may really appreciate it. Let them know that life is a one day at time kind of thing. Thank God for everyday they have that they are healthy because nobody knows what is around the corner. Don't take life for granted....

Nice post Wisz, she's a tough young lady!

Red- Yes, that is our real last name. It's Polish....probably shortened along the way but I'm happy with it. It's got me this far. I was gonna name my first son "Taka" but the wife said no.

I heard 'em all. And, 45 did not go out looking for me! You're just trying to make me feel bad for bailing a day early.

BESS- I'll be hunting solo this trip. I thought about bringing my 11 year old boy but with the possibility of being gone for 12 days, probably shouldn't pull him out of school for that lang. He may not be able to handle the sitting and glassing that I probably will be doing either. His attention span is that of...an 11 year old. LOL

"45 spent two days looking for you on the Vernon."

Was that because of the APB?

Very nice Whiz.

Good luck on your hunt.

Wiz give her a big pat on the back from all of us. She has earned it big time. Everytime I get T.O.ed at the Me-Me kids in today's generation, someone like her comes along and helps to restore my faith in our younger generation.

That is one tough young lady!!Her accomplishments are a direct result of upbringing and parenting. The fact that her teachers did what they did shows her character and respect earned through hard work and determination. This kind of story is great to see and read about. Thanks for sharing Wizz.

Well said Wisz. The simplest things in life are perhaps to most pleasurable and memorable.
Wishing your daughter well and continued success.
