Basketball is the only sport I actually enjoy watching but I am far from a basketball expert. I enjoyed the details of the games. At first it was a “feel good” story that was moving and the unexpected twist that I won’t share, really threw me. My emotions were all over the place. The story of this Sudanese family and their tragic losses reminded me of how many people are displaced, suffer horrific pain and live in fear each and every day. Yet hope continues.....

My five year old great grandson just completed lesson 61 and he received his baby schnauzer puppy early. He enjoys our time together and his 5 month old Missy Kissy calms his nervous energy. He was a premie, so loud noises and stress (challenges) leads to deep breathing and self talk). I wish I had this when my children were this age. What a blessing!
