NEVER ... until now.

Taken from the "Hidden Arsenal"
Originally written:  June 25, 2010


On a rare occasion, out of the clear blue sky
A HISTORICAL MOMENT
can take place right before your eyes.
In this place we call HOME
live 2 brothers...




One has always been
taller
and the other,
smaller.

One has always been our
first born
and the other, our
baby boy.


One has always done things
for the
first time
and the other,
the last.



And they've always
missed the mark
of being
together
by a measly... 



Can you believe they've
never attended the
same school?


They've never
been able to wear the
same clothes or shoes?





And, worst of all, they've
NEVER
played on
the same
team.


Then, out of the clear blue sky
that changed
when Dill was put in to run for the AA Legion Team.

He ran out to 1st base...
took off and rounded 2nd...
then slide into 3rd...
finally ran for home...
where, guess who, 
was waiting for him!

Ty offered up a high five,
smack on the behind and a
"nice run Hummer"!

I looked over at their dad.
 He looked at me.
Through the tears, we smiled.


For the first time ever...
they stood on the same field...
wearing the same uniform...




For the first time ever they were...
TEAMMATES

From Facebook:
I had been wanting to let you know how much I enjoy your blog and especially the pictures and story about your son's never being together in events in their lives until the last game. It was brilliant and a work of art. I've always known you were talented but this was amazing.
