Dear softball,

After 13 years I’m officially saying goodbye to the sport who made me the athlete and person that I am today. Softball will never be just a sport, especially to me. Softball has always been something that I look forward to at the end of the day, or a place I can go to if I need to escape things going on in my life. But above all, softball has given me something that I will never ever take granted of. A home and my family I never knew I wanted in my life.

Every single person within this team, the players, the coaches, and even the parents have shown so much love and support to me that I’ll never be able to fully appreciate. You guys shaped me into the person that I am and I am so ungodly grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you to the players for becoming the sisters I never had, the people I can always come to if I ever need anything and above all, my best friends. To every underclassmen, I’ve loved being able to get close to you and I couldn’t have done it without you.

To my coaches. Phil and Craig, you guys started out my love for the game ever since I started playing for you guys in 9U. You taught me the basics, and as I grew I learned so much more. Being able to play with you two for the last 9 years has been a blast. AJ, Madison, and Addie, thank you all for believing in me most when I couldn’t. You never failed to bring me back up and always telling me to relax. I’ll miss you all so much. 

Mom and dad. I’ll never be able to thank you enough for every sacrifice you’ve made for me. No matter if it’s buying equipment, taking off work to come to my games, cheering me on on the bleachers, talking with me through difficult situations, or even giving me a hug after a hard game, I’m so grateful. Thank you for always being here to catch me when I fall. I’m so grateful for you both and I love you forever. 

Post 10, it’s been an honor to play for you and be able to represent such an amazing group of people and a special cause. I never would have met my best friends if it wasn’t for this team.

It wasn’t the ending we wanted but it’s been a good run. Thank you for everyone who made this journey so special and change my life. 

24 out ✌🏼
