Rosy Greer was the first pro football tackle to “knit” traveling to games. He was one of the first blacks in the game. Imagine his isolation and expectation. I had the privilege of playing against him.
Nice story, Susan! Everyone needs hope to keep persevering through life’s struggles, but also to enjoy moments of peace, solace, friendship and community. I’ve always liked the phrase, “hope floats,” which to me means it’s light, ethereal, above us and in us as long as we nourish it and keep it alive. Don’t let anyone grab your hope, disrespect it, demean it or stomp on it. Those persons are to be avoided. They are too small for you and want to hinder your growth!

I love your connection to crocheting. Grandma would be proud of you. (She's the one who taught me to crochet, and I use her doilies in our home.)
