The scoreboard said I lost today.
But what the scoreboard doesn\'t say
is what it is I have found.

Over the last 21 years,
I have found loyalty.
You have pulled for me
on the court and also in life.

I found inspiration.
You have willed me to succeed,
sometimes even in my lowest moments.

And I\'ve found generosity.
You have given me your shoulders
to stand on to reach for my dreams,
dreams I could never have reached
without you.

Over the last 21 years,
I have found you,
and I will take you
and the memory of you
with me for the rest of my life.
