Million-Dollar Throw
“One of those early-November days when it was cold but not too cold, the sun painting every part of the day as bright a color as possible: the navy blue road jerseys for the Patriots, the white home jerseys with the royal blue trim for the Melville Cowboys, the green grass, the orange of the leaves still in the trees that surrounded the field.
It was too good of a day to feel bad about anything, Nate thought, trying to give himself the kind of pep talk he knew Abby would have given him.
It’s foo...tball, he told himself as he ran out on the field to start warming up with the guys.
It’s not life or death or losing a job the way his dad had lost his, the way he knew dads all over the country were losing theirs. It wasn’t being worried about losing your house or worrying about moving to a new house if you ever managed to sell your old one.
It sure wasn’t losing your eyesight the way Abby was, or having to go off to a school for the blind where she wasn’t going to know anybody, a school that Nate didn’t think was going to make her feel less different.MoreLess
