Soccer 2018

Since two of our children were in middle school, we have enjoyed watching soccer.  
We followed Rob and Mary as they played travel soccer and then high school soccer.  
We loved watching them, often watching two or three games a week. We realize
some of those years were just the best.


Now we have two grandsons playing varsity soccer for Raleigh Charter High School,
both start and both are playing very well.  Ben is a defensive midfielder and Jack is usually in scoring position, scoring half of Raleigh Charter’s goals after three games.  Ben,
captain of the team, distributes the ball, and we love it when he passes to Jack racing toward the goal.


On Sunday morning Jack and I got up at 5:30 a.m., leaving Jennifer’s house
(we’re house sitting) at 6:00 to travel to Wilson, North Carolina for a club soccer
game.  I tried to complain to Aloma that this trip was a hardship, but she saw through me.
I loved traveling to the game and watching Jack play. And I loved taking him to a
Cracker Barrel for breakfast after the game.


Aloma and I feel fortunate that we have the opportunity to watch soccer again, this time
with our grandsons.
