touchdown!

Drew lived alone with his mother, and he cared for her like she was a queen. When Drew entered high school, he went out for the football team. He was the smallest guy to hit the field, but he had such a positive spirit, the coach decided to put him on the team. Even though Drew sat on the bench for the next four years, his mom made every game.

When Drew entered college, he went out for the football team as a walk-on. The other athletes doubted he'd make the cut, but to everyone's surprise, he did! The coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because of the way he put his heart and soul into every practice and, at the same time, motivated the other athletes with the spirit and hustle they desperately needed.

Drew sent his mom season tickets for all the college games. She was trilled once again to be at the game. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he repeated his high school record and never got to play in the game.

The end of his senior football season, he trotted onto the pratice field shortly before the big play-off game. The coach met him with a telegram. Drew read the telegram and fought the lump in his throat to share the news with his coach. "My mother died this morning. Is it all right if I miss pracice today?"

The coach stretched his arm around Drew's shoulder and said,"Take the rest of the week off, son. And don't worry about coming back to the game on Saturday. You take all the time you need."

Saturday arrived, and Drew surprised the team by showing up for the big game. He dressed in silence and made his way to the bench. The game was one of the worst they'd ever played. In the third quarter, Drew approached the coach and begged to play. The coach, figuring out he had nothing to lose since they were already so far behind, relented and sent Drew to the field.

Suddenly, the game took a turn for the better. This little unknown, who had never before played in an actual game, was doing everything right. The opposing team couldn't stop him. He ran, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team caught up, and the score was eventually tied.

In the closing seconds of the game, Drew intercepted a pass and ran for the winning touchdown. The fans broke loose. His teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. The coach approached him soon afterward in the locker room. "Drew, you were fantastic. I don't get it. Your mom just died days ago. How did you do it?"

"Sir, my mom was a Christian. She's in heaven now. Yes, she came to all my games, but she was blind. Today was the first time she got to see me play, and I wanted to show her I could do it."
