I loved... sports in high school, and football was one of my favorites. There was just something unexplainable about being a member of a team and one of the running backs that carried the ball tucked deeply in my chest and breaking through the scrimmage line after your teammates and the larger guys on the line had forcefully created a place for me to run through the line (most of the times). It did not take long to recognize who your best friends really were when you attempted to run through a hole in the line that was created by a group of guys on your team that had the same goal in mind to score a touchdown or advance as far forward as possible with the ground game to get a first down or reach the ultimate goal of a touchdown against the opposition that was doing everything possible to move you and your team backwards and always attempted to take that ball away.
In life..I have learned that there are people in our lives that act as linemen/line women that create big and tiny cracks for us to advance forward in our lives. Sometimes they go unrecognized by the people they sacrifice so much for. These people (Linemen/Line women) ask for so little, sometimes nothing in return except that you do your best. These people are the people that stayed up with you on those nights when you didn't know if you would make it to the next morning, these are the people that took care of you and themselves when you were being developed and created, these are the people that get up and go to work so that you could be fed and clothed with the sometimes pennies that they worked for, these folks would hustle, grind, and would endure everyday in their business establishment in making an extra penny this day when there was none made the day before, these are the people that love and loved you no matter how disrespectful or unappreciated you would sometimes be when they would ask you to do something or help out in some way that would not have required much effort on your part but you sometimes dismissed the simple request as unimportant and would not remember to do the simple task. It is these linemen/line women that created the hole in the scrimmage line that allowed you to advance forward, one, two, three yards at a time to reach the positive end in the opposing challenges. They helped you reach the goal line, to reach the touchdown, to score the points necessary to make your life more successful that helped you be and become the person you have become up until this point in your life. These linemen/line women are sometimes not recognized for who they are and what they do for you..
Do you recognize your linemen/line women? Do you show them appreciation, even if they do not or have not asked for any?
