Join Miracle League!

Cooper had a strong finish to the first half of his miracle league baseball season! He got on base 100% of the time. Gave hundreds of high fives. Threw the ball to his coach. Ran the bases. And enjoyed himself!

And I got to watch as he played. Which sounds so simple. But for parents with kids like Cooper, kids who need more, we often feel more like teachers, nurses, and therapists than moms and dads.

So tonight, for the first time, I got to wear my mom hat instead of baseball buddy.

It felt amazing to cheer for my kid. Join miracle league!

It’s the absolute best.
