Every season ends with me writing this.
People I will especially miss hangiout with this season and people I am most thankful to:
Will - Man, he's the best captain this team has ever had. I can say without doubt that if not for him, I would have quit football last year. He doesn't even know it, but his encouraging words and his faith in me has many times given me strength to get back up on my feet and keep going when I wanted to seriously throw in the towel and just screw it all to hell. I have great respect for the guy.
Steve - Yeah, of course I'll miss him! Who wouldn't miss his now signature squeal/war scream? I think it's absolutely hilarious! And also his cheer? Definitely... different. But really, he does the smallest, stupidest things that make me smile, and everyone who can make me smile is on the high lists with me. Also, he's about the nicest guy I've ever met, and there's definitely something about him, but I'm not sure. :)
Nick - I think he is the only person on the face of this planet that is able to piss me off and get me so furious I want to throw thunder, but at the same moment can be a great friend and a great person when I need one. He has said some of the most horrible things ever said to me, but at the same time when I think of myself being down and sad I always remember him there for me - encouraging, humorous, concerned. One of my favorite brothers by far, though we do have a love/hate relationship.
Saro - I've never even talked to the guy. But I'm gonna miss his smile. There's just something so friendly and sincere about him. It makes me feel good just being around him, does that make sense?
Jay - he goes alongside Will. What he has done for me can be summed up in a couple of words - he was there on one day in three years when I needed someone the most. He stayed for 3 hours after school and he listened and he talked, and I really don't know what I would've done if he didn't ask me what's wrong and if he didn't stay with me. His encouragement means the world. The words he had said kept me going, and the words he wanted to say but didn't kept me from losing confidence. Sometimes, when he was coaching us, I could see it in his eyes - I SUCKED and he knew it, but wow, thanks for being so patient.
Alex - I really can't tell you why I'll miss him. Certainly will not miss getting hit by him - I've never met anyone who hits harder than this guy. ;) It's stupid, I really can't tell you. I always cared about him quite a lot, but we barely ever talked. He's just one of those people who has made a mark without really meaning to.
Justin - Ah. The guy who can never find the right words but you can always understand what he means regardless. The guy who has a strange sense of humour and the guy who knows every way to thoroughly disgust me. The guy that really means more than he says. Once again, he's one of the people who cared. When I was losing it, he reminded me of one thing that didn't do for me to forget - it doesn't matter what others think about you, it only matter what you think about you. Thanks for not letting me forget that.
Braiden - The guy bullied me for three months. And when I say bullied me I mean BULLIED me. But he was the one that noticed when something was wrong and he was the one who sat down with me and talked to me. Told me how to deal with shit. Told me to live for myself. Told me to stop smiling when I was feeling sad and actually made me laugh. And after that, he went back to who he always was, and so did I. We never mentioned this again, but I have not forgotten. Thanks.
Brandon - Awesome friend, that's all. Been there for me to listen to my rants about guys, periods, sex... What hasn't he endured on my account? ;) Gave me great advice. Always paired up with me when we needed to find a partner. Always found words of encouragement. Good times!
Coach Mark - He coached running backs and such. Never really coached us. But he was always... I don't know. He's one of the people I don't know what to say about. One of those who leaves a mark and you never know how or why. Really easy to talk to. Really open, really sincere, really nice. Always holding my jewellery for me. :) Awesome coach from what I hear, too! Awesome guy.
Coach Gouge - Our younger coach. Now I hate some of the drills he made us do, but perhaps the whole reason that I could do them well at all was because every single time I did it he would tell me good job, pat me on the back, etc. Even when I'd screw up. That really helps. Eventually, you become really confident and end up doing it right. He's got the right idea. Extremelly positive and understanding. Told me I was his favorite player in the end of the season. I appreciated that. Made me feel better.
Coach Bowman (Peter) - He cared. And if you knew him you would know how bizarre it is for me to say this. He has given me hell last season, but this one I could really see concern in his eyes. When I would take a particularly hard hit, he would ask me if I was ok, and when I hurt myself the concern in his eyes honestly almost made me cry. In the end of the season when I was crying because of our loss, I could see he was uncomfortable and he didn't know what to do or what to say, but he did his best, he said the best words of encouragement that he could manage, and that's saying a lot for him. I love my coach. I admire him and I look up to him, and he reminds me of my Daddy so much it hurts. And he gives the best motivational speeches ever!
Coach Chadderton (Bill) - If I told you I love him like a grandfather, would you laugh? He calls me sweetheart, he always talks to me and understands me and he reminds me of my grandfather who passed away when I was 7, and who loved me so very very much! He never says a lot, but he always says enough. After the loss, he came up to me and hugged me, and unlike other people who kept telling me "Don't cry," or "Why is this game such a big deal?" he said: "You know why you're crying? Because you care, and that's amazing." Wow is all I have left to say.
I will miss everybody. I love everybody equally. The people mentioned above have left a special mark, a footprint on my life, which I would never want to forget. I know I won't be able to talk to them and hang out with them as much now that the season is over, and I know I'm probably missing someone, but no matter.
Will - Man, he's the best captain this team has ever had. I can say without doubt that if not for him, I would have quit football last year.
