The starting
outfield for the 2013 and 2014 Elmhurst College Bluejays spent yesterday
afternoon in our yard. So did Clare’s
high school coach and a friend of mine from just about kindergarten. If you let it, the past is never really past.
Clare had a
bunch of people over for a combination graduation/going away party. The softball girls went over last season and
what’s going to happen next year without Clare around. The softball dad and coach reminisced over
games from what now seems a very long time ago:
The freshman Clare getting a single in the top of the seventh inning to
start an improbable four-run-after-two-out rally against Riverside-Brookfield
for our first of four consecutive regional championships; the senior Clare
hitting a game-tying homerun in the bottom of the seventh to set up the last
one.
I only wish it
were enough to reminisce. Maybe in time
it will be.
