I broke my foot today giving my all in a game that we ended up losing. Yet I wasn't the one who quit. I kept playing, ignoring the pain. My teammates gave up, and cost us the game. That hurt the most.

When you give your all, and still you lose
Don't walk away in shame
In times like these, it's when you learn
What it takes to win the game

Hey dog, did you see the size of that chicken!?

Thanks you guys.
By the way Titus, it was softball. I was sliding into third. The bag was suppose to give away, but it didn't, my foot did.
I just got back from the ER. I sat there for 2 hours and didn't get seen by a doctor, so I just left. You have to love Navy medicine!!

OUCH! I know that hurts. Nice poem Kris. Sometimes it takes more than we should have to give to win.

Gosh, so did you get an x-ray at least? Do you have a cast or something? Why did you leave? Okay, I'm a mother, what can I say?

Good things come to those who wait,
and wait, and wait.
