"...All I can think about is one moment you and I shared years ago. Over
and over that same insignificant moment repeats in my head...I, I can't
tell you why. It was your birthday, your first year playing for
Maryland. Jamie must have been two. You said you didn't want to do
anything, but I insisted on at least having your favorite ice cream. Do
you remember this? When I...when I brought back mint chocolate chip and
you asked why I thought that was your favorite. I was so confused. Any
time we had gotten ice cream together, that's what you always chose, but
you told me rocky road was your favorite. And you looked at me so
tenderly, Nathan, and you said you always chose mint chocolate chip
because you knew it was my favorite flavor. And that's when I realized
for the first time that you hadn't been making any of your decisions for
yourself. You were doing everything for me all along, for your family."-Haley James Scott
Someday, maybe.
