Whenever my parents are in town, one of my favorite things to do with them is going to buy books together. This is something that I cherish and value so much because we can spend hours chatting and walking around the store and one book leads to another and we chat about random things and next thing you know 3 hours have flown by.
My parents have been supportive of every single thing I have ever done, tried to do, wanted to do, had interest in, you name it. They support me and also call me out when I don’t do things in a way which they approve and its always done in a very constructive way.
Their encouragement with any and all things women’s football means a lot to me because they know this is a hobby and just something I like, just like I can like anything else, but they are moved by it, they now try to watch the sport as much as they can and they send me news or videos or things related to women’s football. Yesterday, I bought my mom a copy of Suzy Wrack’s book “A Woman’s Game” which is an absolute must read for any and all.
Watching the CL final with my mom and dad was something really special and while Viv was on TV chatting we talked about her whole thing… watching DvD, my favorite player ever, with them was truly special too and I’m really bummed the match didn’t go Lyon’s way.
If you are lucky enough to have parents that support your passion for the women’s sport, if you are privileged enough to watch matches with them, to share stories about the players… if they are interested in your love for it, then cherish that and value that and please let them know who much it means to you.
There’s no shortage of things I can talk about with my parents but there’s something truly meaningfully deep when we talk about Arsenal Women. It moves me to my core and it’s just a testament to things that matter so very much to me.
That’s why I get passionate and vocal about things that rattle the things I love. Be it Viv, past players, current players or the things that manager says and does, and doesn’t do.
