My son is an athlete. Like an incredible athlete. (I know, parent's bias haha)
In high school he was the star quarterback...
They were having an incredible season...
But, as it does, it came down to the last game of the year.
My wife and I are in the stands just praying that he will do well...
By the third quarter, I felt like all my prayers were answered...
And then it happened...
He steps up to take the snap...
But before anything happens, he just drops...
As parents, we assumed the worst...
He was helped off the field by the trainers...
My wife runs down to check on him...
He had a brutal cramp in his hamstring...
The trainers worked on him...
Gave him water, told him to stretch...
But the damage had been done.
He was out for the rest of the game...
A game that they ended up losing.
I'll tell you, NOT a pleasant dinner conversation that night!
