Summer Reflection
This summer has been all over the place. A good reminder nothing in life goes quite as planned.
“This was my last chance” was my bitter anthem this summer. As I sat in the hospital, making phone calls and explaining I was out of the game for the next three months, I croaked it out again and again. This was my last summer with Marcia, pulled out from under me before it really even began. I was beyond devastated.
But even if this was my last summer with Marcia, it won’t be my last summer riding. By a long shot. It could be my last summer in Latham for a while though – I honestly don’t know. So I’m happy for all the polo matches and Valley Cat games. For the beach days and Friday nights at the diner with the family. All the truly special things upstate has to offer.
I love Marcia. Always have and always will. And it isn’t an exaggeration to say she has changed my life. But whether or not I get another summer with her, she’s opened door, given me connections, and taught me a ton. And really, I couldn’t ask for anything else.
