[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 2010291, member: 748116"] Each of us has our ‘blood’ family. Many of us have a workplace family. Many of us have a church family. Many of us have a hobbies family. And (around places like this) people like us have our sports-fanatics family. And very often... we find some in our blood family that also are part of our sports fanatics family. And that is powerful. Two strong ‘families’ of ours that bond us together that amplify our brother-and-sister-hood to each other and our passion for a common interest beyond what flows in our veins. That passion gives energy and joy to our lives. And it creates that unique bond between sports-brothers/sisters. Without the bonds of love and friendship and common interest and purpose... no sport of any kind means much of anything. Just an expenditure of energy and movement until and unless we add a layer of meaning and significance to what goes on there. We are expecially blessed whenever we find our blood family and sports family blending together. A bond like no other. And the times that we share together go on without end. They live within us as much as the breath we take. Blessings to you and to all of us who see ourselves in you in this moment. [/QUOTE]
