And always for having the amazing ability for using her peripheral vision to sense if anyone on the field has fallen down, and for having the commitment, when that happens, even if she has the ball and an open field in front of her, a free lane straight to the goal...
To leave that ball sitting right there and make a beeline for the fallen player, and to help that person up.
Even if that person didn't necessarily want any help.
At the end of the soccer season, Claire gets the award for most dramatically improved attitude toward soccer...
(From "I will never laugh again" when she found out that I signed her up for it, to "I like it a little bit" at the end of the season...
...and even, "I might play again next year")
And the award for achieving all her goals and being super intense.
And for not being intimidated by this girl.
And Owen gets the award for best fan ever and for asking for popcorn at every single game and practice.
