Okay, so you all know that I don't know a soul here in our "new" homestead..so I couldn't WAIT to share what happened today!
Lonoke puts out a little newspaper once a week...we usually are faithful to pick one up every Thursday..but didn't get this week's paper till today.
So hub is sitting there reading the papaer and all the sudden I thought he was going to fall out of his chair...he started hollering .."you are NOT going to believe this..."
So when I finally got it out of him...he was right!
As I have shared, Dayne, my youngest son that we lost in 1999 was a SUPER football althlete..from the time he started playing in Jr High all through High school the team never lost a single game..and went to the state playoffs. The funny deal was, when Dayne's group went from Jr. High to High school...they promoted his coach to head High school coach so he had the same coach for all the years he played. (I hope this is making sense) Coach Jones & Dayne were very close...in 1999, the first game of the season was the Friday after Dayne's funeral. The entire football team was honorary pall barrers at his funeral. Well...they lost that first game and Coach made a lengthy statement of apology in the paper stating that the team had been traumatized by Dayne's death and he and the team were just having a difficult time "dealing" with it...it was a precious article. Coach hung in that year and then left the school and took a position in another town...I lost contact with him complety.
Well, the NEWS today is that OUR Coach Jones has accepted the position as head coach for ...are you ready...YEP..the Lonoke Jack Rabbits..
How UNBELIEVABLY COOL IS THAT???
SO...bright & early Monday morning...I will be tracking down my DEAR friend who shared the biggest part of Dayne's life with him...I am SOOOOO elated (and shocked)
So what do you think about THAT????
