As soon as I saw these words the other day I knew this was going to be Friday’s post. Somewhere I have a photos of Ryan and Coach Ford. But even without those, I had to share this quote this week.
Here’s a story about Tony probably not many know. When Ryan was about 18 months old and I was 8 months pregnant with Alex, we decided that was the perfect time to move. Being super pregnant and having a toddler, I needed a lot of help packing everything up. One day Scott said someone offered to come help. It was Tony Ford. As just a teenager himself, I was so impressed with how carefully he packed everything for me. I didn’t have to do much at all! I’ve never forgotten that kindness. Years later, that little toddler got to play football for that teenager. I’m still looking for those pictures from Lloyd Wood football days, but this wisdom was too good not to use this week!
