dear softball, i don’t even know where to begin. our journey has been a long one. 17 years of the game and it still wasn’t enough. i am thankful for the people you have put into my life because of the game. i’m thankful for the 5am travel mornings, the extra reps after practice, times spent with dad in the cage, and all of my memories at arcadia. you have shaped me into the woman i am today. although my playing days are over, i cannot wait to coach the next generation of softball players. so much love, #18 out “But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded” 2 Chronicles 15:7
