Today is Day 8/100 for Lin to be gone for her next medical treatment, and when we talk later tonight, I will have to inform her that we now have a fourth Son !
Kevin Burress is one very special human being, and there’s no way that anything else takes the lead story tonight.
Most everyone loves and cares about their own children. It’s part of being a parent, but Burress is different in that he not only cares about his kiddos, he cares about your kiddos and the ones down the block.
It’s as genuine as the day is long, and the folks around him feel the warmth in his disposition. Shoot, I would work for free if it meant hanging out with Mr B. Scratch that, being that I already do.
Tonight, Kevin and I set up shop at Cavalier Park with one goal – duplicate the atmosphere that we have every time the Varsity Lady Cavaliers play a home game. The fact that we simply could not find a better 1-2 punch is because we are as close to being identical in thought as two people can be.
Pride in our work, respect for the National Anthem, and the Military 🪖 ➕️ the goal is to create fun for all levels of Lady Cavaliers without being disrespectful to the opponent we are playing. I wasn’t surprised that Kevin had his daughter reach out to her teammates so he could create personal walk-up music for them.
The funny part about that was our Ladies were not used to having that bonus, so they did the normal rush into the batters box. Enter the older Burress daughter, Angel 😇, who happily went down to the dugout with the suggestion for them to slow 🐌 down just a bit.
Back to Burress and the connection to the fourth Son. For years now, I have publicly referred to Velvet Leonard as our third daughter because I find myself wanting to be protective of her because she, too, leads with her heart on a daily basis. Folks like us have to watch out for one another whenever we can. If I can add a third daughter, then Lin should be okay with a fourth Son, right ?
She has spent enough time around Mr B to appreciate the fact that Kevin’s heart ❤️ is as big as Kris Richardson’s level of confidence. Who am I kidding on that one? Both Richardson and I skipped class the day they taught modesty.
Let’s circle 🔵 back to the friendly ribbing of Carlie Beamer in the lead. I’m just keeping a neat Kiddo honest there.
The takeaway from the other three is this, one is called Angel 😇, one likes being compared to her mother 👩 and the third one confirmed what I have typed many times before – Brooke Webb has a look in her eyes 👀 that says ” I know something you don’t “. This young lady is truly smart. I’m not sure if she is Laiken Burnett smart but pretty smart, just the same.
Tomorrow night 🌙 I get to hang out with Kevin again, and we celebrate 🥳 the smartness of Miss Webb, and then we will host The Fort at 5pm.
