This shirt brings back so many memories. Slip-n-slides, roller hockey, Otterpops.
I lived in this shirt. It was custom made at a little hole-in-the-wall shop. Kids always say, "This is the best present ever!" But this shirt really was the best present ever.
Red was my favorite color, and fifteen was my favorite number.
It didn't matter it went to my knees when I first tried it on. I felt like I was part of the team. Whether it was the neighborhood baseball team, or my first basketball tryouts in middle school. I felt like I belonged.I was fierce. I ran hard, jumped far, and threw like a girl, because nobody told me otherwise.
Thanks Mom. Thanks Dad.
