"IMAGINE WHAT I COULD DO 
WITH THIS FROM HERE"


when I first met her I told 
her there would be a lot she 
would learn from me. she 
looked at me with contempt 
and asked: “will I be able to 
teach you anything? you think 
you’ll learn anything from 
me?” my reply was simple: 
“well I’ll teach you 
everything you haven’t 
learned, everything you 
missed. I’m sure throughout 
our relationship, I’ll look 
to you for your help.” that 
was the end of our 
conversation. it had to be. 
we had a vibrant relationship 
ahead. there were a thousand 
lessons she got from me and 
even now she is still 
learning. even if she won’t 
admit it. as she learns more, 
putting it into play, our 
bump in the road is 
diminishing and soon, the 
elephants will dance and 
celebrate our love. but of 
those thousand lessons she 
managed to give me one. it 
was an important one. I used 
to ask myself, what could 
this woman teach me? I wanted 
to know. if there had been 
any way to find out sooner, I 
would have given away my 
smokes and beer just to find 
out. alas I did and it was a 
lesson so great, I now live 
in it. she taught me how to 
love without fear. although 
my lessons are now embedded 
into her brain, hers was one 
that I learned as I was 
giving her hers. as I taught, 
she taught. as she learned, I 
learned. I used to ask 
myself, what could this woman 
teach me? I remember so many 
times I wanted to give up but 
I loved her. to quote Sean 
Maguire: “you’ll have bad 
times but they’ll always wake 
you up to the good stuff you 
weren’t paying attention to.” 
I woke up. I saw what I 
would’ve missed had I given 
up. the greatest lesson that 
pulled me from the chains. 
Sean Maguire: “you can know 
everything in the world sport 
but the only way you’re 
finding out that one is by 
giving it a shot.” she asked 
me once: “will I be able to 
teach you anything? you think 
you’ll learn anything from 
me?” my reply: “you taught me 
how to live. you taught me 
how to love. you made me want 
to see tomorrow.” you were 
the best shot I ever took.
