Storytelling Sunday (Picture): The Armband

There are many things Henry is on the soccer field:  fast; hard working; coachable. Definitely talented. But there's one thing he has never been - a leader. It just has not been in his nature to stand up and fill that role.  
Until this year. 
Congratulations son.

Hurray! That's the perfect short, short story. It says a lot (I like that word "coachable", it says a lot too) and it is beautifully illustrated. Congratulations Henry.
