Tom Retires and Hangs Up His Gloves

 I want to talk to the man that made the rule, "All good things must come to an end."  What's so wrong about good things lasting forever?  Lucky for him, we have the pictures and videos to cherish those unforgettable, amazing memories and make them last forever, despite his silly rule!
My brother Thomas, Number 3, has officially finished out his soccer career and definitely went out with a bang!  In order to make the playoffs, his team needed to win the last game of the season. In order to make the playoffs, his team needed one man to step up and lead them to victory.  That man was going to be the goalie, my brother Thomas, Number 3!
He played the game of his life and lead his team to VICTORY!!!
I'm so proud of you Tom!  You are one of the strongest, most determined, most selfless, diligent people I know! No one deserves this moment pictured above/below besides you. That is pure bliss!
It was great to get everyone together to celebrate his Senior Day! When I close my eyes, I feel like we are back at Waverly Fields watching him play micro-soccer when he was five.  It's hard to believe that was sixteen years ago!
My favorite moment during the game was when Tom made an excellent save and a fan from the baseball team yelled, "Yea Tom! Now flex for 'em!" haha The crowd loves his biceps.
 Congratulations on an amazing soccer career! Welcome to the Retired Has-Been Club!
