The Pink Wristband for Syd

Yesterday was the Department Of Corrections basketball tournament. Shane and a bunch of guys from his work created a team again this year to play. Shane is very lucky that he works with such amazing guys. They have always been great, but since Sydneys passing they have all gone above and beyond to help, or do whatever is needed for Shane and us. 

I knew it was going to be a little tough yesterday, because last year when we went to the tournament I brought both of them. A year later and now I only have one. I knew Logan was going to enjoy, but it was going to be different.

When we got there we were greated by all Shanes coworkers who proudly wore "hotpink" wristbands with the initials "SGC". Some guys even had pink sneakers or pink laces to match. Shane wore his pink wrist band, and pink sneakers in honor of his baby girl.

All the guys worked so hard yesterday, and even though they didn't win they never gave up. When Shane got the ball a few times you would here the guys say, "do it for Logan" as his favorite fan sat on the sidelines cheering for his daddy.

Logan had a blast and was even given his own wristband, which he wore on his hand for a second then his leg. He was trying to sport a new trend.

Yesterday was a nice start to another tough weekend as today is Fathers Day. Another milestone that is very difficult to deal with; however, seeing the smile Logan has for his daddy, and how proud he is of him is priceless. 

Even though Sydney wasn't there in person yesterday she will always be remembered. Thank you to Shanes friends and coworkers who wore the pink bands, and occassionally would say, "I'm sparkling...not sweating." 

That made for a great day as the sparkle lives on.
