To my son Morgan Burger,
Merry Christmas (2021)✨
A Memory Quilt created just for you.
Made up of all the joint memories we have of East Grinstead Rugby Football Club.
All those freezing frosty mornings.
…And the mud.
Sore throats from cheering the team on.
…The wet mud.
The multiple times pyjamas were worn under the rugby kit (lazy sod), only to have found out after the game.
…The dry mud.
Sore hands from clapping.
…White towels with dry muddy handprints.
The sombre silences after losing a game.
…The mud in front of the washing machine.
Losing count of just how many gum shields were bought.
…The mud still in your hair.
The dirty kit bag hidden at the bottom of the wardrobe.
…The mud in the washing machine.
The ups and downs of matches being postponed.
…The mud in your bedroom.
The most amazing gutsy tackler we have ever seen especially from someone so young.
…The mud in my car.
Your ability to play as a true team player.
The friendships we made with the players, the coaches, the linesman, the volunteers, and the parents on the sideline.
Lots of wonderful memories at EGRFC.
I know we would not have changed a thing.
…even the mud.
Lots of love,
Mum
