love and thanks

I wasn't able to talk to him after the football game where I watched the Cougars lose 29-24 in the semifinals. But I had to let the nephew know that I was thinking of him so I texted him a sad face emoticon followed by the word "hug." He and his team had just lost the opportunity to play in the championship game and instead of texting me back something like "yeah it sucks," he texts me the above message. I was amazed and incredibly touched. He's the sweetest 17-year old I know. He's also a pretty darn good football player.
