I didn't even know she would be starting, and it didn't even matter to us. It was just exciting to see her come out of the tunnel in her uniform. When they called her name last, that was pretty emotional. I actually got a little teary there for a moment. |
I think years down the road they will sit back and really realize it. I've tried to tell them ... how grateful we were that they were there that night. Because we know had they not been there that Kayla wouldn't be here. |
Years from now she may step back and say, 'Wow, I guess I was pretty inspirational and I was the first person to do this.' But right now she isn't thinking about that. She is thinking about playing. |
