One Look at Opening Day
There really are two sides to every fence. And this picture caught something. It was another Opening Day to another season of another sport. And I really am so proud of Chase who has cheered and supported his brother for three years. He has been on the watching, the hoping side of the fence. Hoping, perhaps, to someday have his own turn. This year he got dressed in his Giants baseball hat, Giants jersey, Giants shorts, and fastest shoes he had...just to cheer. It was so darling.
But, I think that, perhaps, there is something melancholy about this side of the fence. The side where you watch and don't do. But, as I looked at this picture, I realized that we spend much of our lives cheering those on around us...perhaps even most of our lives. And this is an important side. It is perhaps less flashy and definitely given less attention. But perhaps without it the other side wouldn't exist.

Soon enough he will be on the other side! I love your boys and I love this picture. I love your outlook on life/ It is so you to remember that giving and cheering for others is just as important.
I Miss you!
It is an important side, and you've captured its subtle magic so beautifully with this photo and your words about Chase getting all decked out to cheer his big brother on on opening day. Love it.
