I had a completely different post lined up for you this week, but this one was writing itself in my head as I drove the three hours home from a soccer tournament for our little guy. Enjoy!
Today is the 3rd day of Eid Al-Adha, the Muslim celebration that commemorates Prophet Abraham’s sacrifice and coincides with the Hajj in Mecca1. A had a soccer tournament this past weekend, three hours away, on Saturday, which coincided with the holiest day of our calendar.
We packed up the car on Friday afternoon. We drove the scenic route, went to the team dinner, jumped on the bed and struggled to sleep, slathered ourselves with sunscreen and oohed and aahed at the shots and the saves and the dekes and the fancy footwork and the goals.
