BC: Yes, CiCi…I have to ask you something.
Me: Ok, sweetie…what it is?
BC: Can I count on you to buy my candy again this year for the Little League parade?
Sucker!
But how do you say no to this?
I am already sad that I am missing Opening Day this year and disappointed I won’t see him in the parade. Last year we watched him riding through Kountze, tossing candy from his mother-of-all-sized-candy-bags, and waving to his friends and family on the street.
It was a great day. Maybe the Rangers won, maybe they lost – I actually think they tied…but, it doesn’t matter. I can’t go into this year’s “season” with the same enthusiasm as last year. It isn’t because the newness is gone or because I am not there to see it in person. It isn’t the lingering sadness from the recent hit-and-run of Cole’s puppy, Ranger, who was named in honor of his t-ball team.
What a cutie…we should get him and my daughter together…heehee!
I was so sad to read about his little friend. I’ll pray for that family today!!
Louise – your daughter is a doll…we would be honored. Thank you for your prayers for Coy’s family. Their faith is what has gotten them through.
I’m a sucker for cute kid pics. These are great Cherrye, and I can see why you are so proud of him.
Your son is adorable. So sorry for his friend. My prayers go out to his family.
Oh sorry – I guess I should clarify! My Little Slugger is actually my nephew…not my biological child, although Peppe and I would take him in an instant if my sister would let us have him! :0 ha ha
Also – my mom told me today that the Little League folks created a sign in honor of Cole’s friend, Coy, to be placed in the T-ball Field. They unveiled it on Opening Day yesterday.
Cute kid. I have pictures of my kids when they were this old and on ball teams as well and I often wonder where those little guys went (they’re in high school now).
