“I feel kind of numb today. Maybe it just hasn’t hit me yet. Or maybe I’m trying to hold out hope that she just doesn’t want to soccer right now, but will soon. The thing is, the next time she does want to, if the time ever comes, I need it to be forever. I need her to be willing to run non-stop during practice and games, because I no longer want tryouts with her. I want the World Cup. I want it all. And I’m not going to let her talk me into anything less.”
