A Tomboy Mama’s Dream Come True

About 20 years ago a young girl who was determined to compete with all the boys in every sport or outdoor activity asked her parents for a set of hockey sticks.  A few years and a good number of street-games later, she made the varsity field hockey team.  Time passed and she gave away most of the other toys she had outgrown, but somehow the sticks kept landing in “Keep” pile.  Maybe she’d have kids who would like them as much as she had, one day. 

They moved with her 4 times and finally leaned against a wall in the garage.

There they stood, untouched.

Until this week, a silly little tomboy-dream came true…

 The best part was, they were really good – stopping and returning balls like they’d been doing it forever.  Just like their Mama did in high school.
