I Want to Be the One to Walk in the Sun
It is never good news for me to hear that someone won’t be able to attend the reunion. I live in a kind of fantasy world where there are no schedule conflicts, no weddings or christenings, no sporting events, no conferences, nothing but the class of 86 20-year high school reunion at the Gallery in Slidell.
However, I feel a little comforted when fantastic pictures are attached to the email containing the bad news. Coach Wendy will be in Brazil while we’re in Slidell; the rest of this post comes from her message:
I am in the process of filling out the How Have You Been sheet and sending in a family photo. I have two kids (Maddie, 9, and André, 7). My husband, Bryan, and I have been married 12 years.
I’m writing also to tell you that I will not be able to attend the reunion. I am so sad about this and would have loved to see everyone. I will be in Brazil for three weeks again this June with Athletes in Action, the sports ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. I am coaching their women’s soccer tour.
I have attached photos that you may use for your blog. I coach soccer and teach at Johnson County Community College (15 minutes from downtown Kansas City). It is one of the largest JuCos in the nation (40,000 students, which includes a nursing school; a PT, OT, and dental hygiene school; massage therapy, cosmetology, and a police academy). Our soccer team is ranked 13th in the nation.I love my job and couldn’t think of anything in the world I would rather be doing. The picture is of my team while we were in St. Louis last fall. I am on the far left… in case I happened to blend in with all these beautiful 19-year-olds and you couldn’t pick me out!
