Performance. Then I flopped on the bed, and bent down to untie my size thirteens. I froze. I studied my shoes as if they just ap

peared on my feet. Pictures of shoes flashed in my thoughts. Suddenly, memories of my mother flooded my mind, her voice crowding out my former thoughts of glory and fame. Sure, I was successful, but I became acutely aware of the fact that I had help along the way. My steps had been guided by family and friends. I blinked the moisture from my eyes, grabbed the card and headed for the den. My abrupt entrance startled Pops almost as much as the bear hug he got from me.
“Thanks for all you’ve done for me. I love you,” I stammered. I opened the envelope and a gift card fell out for Athlete’s Footgear. The handwritten words were simple and familiar:

“The longest journey begins with a single step. What’s next?
Love, Ms. Willow

Although we seldom spoke about it, that first year without Mom was the year Coach Moses and Ms. Willow, stepped into our lives. They were both from our church. Ms. Willow paid for my first summer basketball camp and bought my shoes every season. Coach took me home from practice during those middle school years. Pops always loved me and supported me. It was getting late, but I had two more things to do.

Like I said, life really is a journey. Look out tomorrow, here I come!

Sincerely,

Jerome Dunkin’ Duncan
Silver Fox #11
