148 ~ Game Ball

By Kay Heitsch

I suppose every high school has a big rivalry game that's played each year. I didn't attend a school that played competitive sports, so it was unfamiliar to me.

However, the year Todd would have been a senior, the high school where Todd attended dedicated their rivalry game to Todd. I was so touched that they would do this in memory of Todd.

This was an exciting game. I wasn't sure which team would win, but at the very end of the game, Todd's high school won.

A few days after the game, a group of the football guys brought over the game ball and gave it to me. I sure wasn't expecting this!

I have kept this game ball on display in our office all these years. I think of the kindness and love that these young guys showed to our family when I look at this ball.

Once again, God showed His love by bringing another triumph out of the tragedy of Todd's untimely death.

Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
