Surviving Widowhood with Writing, Reading, Soccer and Bilingualism

My dear, soccer-playing, profoundly Christian, Colombian husband died in 2005, leaving me with two beautiful boys, Gabriel, 15, and Mario, 13, to raise. As I mourn my husband's loss, I am looking for balance. I need to work as a writer, be a good mother/father, play and teach my sons Spanish!

Last Day of Over-30 Women's Outdoor Soccer
The wind was cold, the sun went down. We only had about eight players on each side, but we played the full 60 minutes to a 0 to 0 tie. It was hard to get offense going with the short sided teams. But we ran and yelled and kicked the ball hard. Sometimes I think that's all we need to do. I was really tired afterward. We followed the usual tradition of going to Friendly's for dinner. The boys and I talked and relaxed over dinner and ice cream. I will miss the routine, but indoor soccer starts soon!
