When we heard that Evan’s mother was making the drive from Alabama to Atlanta to see Evan and watch him play, we both knew that we had to come up with some special way to share the big news. First we threw around the idea of myself joining Evan down south but we figured at this stage in the pregnancy there is NO way I’m going to make it out of the house, let alone away from the toilet. We played with the idea of sending a gift of some sort; frame, M&Ms, Cliché T-shirt… nothing stuck. Then some light went off & Evan knew he wanted to make a card, from scratch. His mother makes them and would truly appreciate our effort. So we made one, then two, then three…. and now I’m moving on the next holiday, it’s an addicting little craft.
He told his mother at the hotel before the game, I wish I was there! I would have loved to see her melt the way he describes, she cried with tears of joy! Oh, how love simply filled the air and spread all across my face when she called. As soon as his mother knew, she spread word, & as soon as my mother knew it was “going around,” she felt obligated to share too. I have to applaud both women, they both raised such wonderful children & are going to be grandparents for the first time! I do say, bring out the champagne (sparkling cider)!
