Last Sunday Special Olympics New Mexico held its statewide invitational basketball competition. Six courts – forty-two games – five hours. Here are four comments I overheard that do a pretty good job of describing our day.
1) “Hey dude, what’s goin’ on’?” — ”Good. I’ve been practicing.”
2) “Man that was a GREAT game!” — “Ya, I know. Did we win?”
3) “Hey Mom – HE DID IT! Peter finally made a basket!”
4) “This is making all the difference in his life. He has a whole family of friends now.”
I love Special Olympics competitions. They are usually my very best days.
