Day 136
 
Ice Hockey Games---16 years at rinks all over the Midwest
 
 
I wouldn’t have missed a second of it for all the tea in China! Fantastic!
That I love my family more than life, itself, ought to be self-evident. I confess: I Love you!
 Z. Tyler has talent to spare; Great!  at any, and all, sports endeavors. My sport is baseball; Z. excelled at that sport, but, his first true love is---Ice Hockey! He has been playing since he was six years old; now, at 29, he plays on “men’s” teams and still scores with the best of them.
 Our young man had quite the high school career and also, played in college winning the Silver Division championship one year. Quite the success; still, he remained humble.
I watched Mr. Z. Tyler pass myriad pucks to other team mates when he could have very easily taken the shot himself. When Z. was 7 years old he played for the Meramec Sharks team in Missouri. Even at that tender age, he had racked up a superior number of goals; getting “One” goal at that age would set many a boy, or girl, on cloud nine for years. Z. Tyler is: Humble!
 In a game, Z. had a breakaway. Chasing the puck towards an empty net, he slightly touched it and it went in. When the referee came up to verify his number, Z. politely told the official that he had not touched the puck and that the goal should be credited to his defenseman who had never scored a goal prior to that “gift”. (Not many adults would practice such “Christian-generosity”)
His Nanny knew what had happened and told me about it; Z. Tyler has never mentioned the occasion---not even…once. If I ever brought it up, which I won’t, he’d just deny it, anyway.
 He celebrated that “secret” goal with his cohort even more excitedly than the defenseman.
 Yeah! We traveled all over the Midwest in all the snow, ice and cold. Let’s do it all again!
 We still go to watch the athlete, on occasion. Softball, too. He is am avid golfer; talented!
 We spend an equal amount of time with our granddaughters, also. Piano! Violin! Drums! Chorus! Equestrian events! Riding lessons! And---on, and…on! Life---is…Good! Amen!
Thank You! Lord! For: Life! Love! Laughter! And, this almighty:  Family! Faith! Freedom!
Thanks! Guys & Gals! For allowing us to be part of the festivities! We love you!
Nanny & Bapa
 
Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Celebration!” Memories!
