Chicken Coops
Chicken Coops
I was watching ESPN and they were airing one of their “Make A Wish” segments. They film kids who are having their wishes granted by meeting their favorite athletes. These segments are tough to watch but they also show the kindness there can be.
There was a kid from a South Dakota farm who wanted to meet Larry Fitzgerald who is a wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. They pulled out all the stops and he had a blast. I always hope for the best for these kids but many face huge odds.
What caught my attention was the last line of the piece. The sports anchor said the little boy’s Mama told them he got really frustrated because he was very limited in his contact with animals. He told her “I’m gonna go in that chicken coop and I don’t care what they say!”
I laughed out loud and then I wanted to cry. Gawd I hope he gets to go in that chicken coop again. All of us probably have some quirky wish in us that we probably don’t even realize until something out of the ordinary happens. We all have our “chicken coops.”
I thought about what might be a ‘chicken coop’ for me and I came up with a few. Figure out what yours are and don’t wait to go in them. Sometimes tomorrow never comes.
