031722 Say it ain't so Freddie...

 

It has been a busy week for the Atlanta Braves, 

but somewhat bittersweet as the Freddie Freeman

era with the club is coming to an end. 

Freeman said his goodbye to the club in 

an Instagram post Wednesday afternoon. (3/16/22)

I don’t even know where to begin. 

For the past 15 years I got to be apart of your organization.

It was truly an honor. We went through the very highs

together and some lows but those lows are what made

last year so special. 

You watched me grow up from a baby faced kid to

marrying my love @chelseafreeman5 and seeing us bring

3 beautiful boys into this world. I’m so glad my family 

got to be apart of yours! 

To Snit, my coaches, teammates, training staff, clubhouse staff,

and everyone who made Turner Field and Truist Park so special

for my family and I over the years. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has been a blast to

have you cheer for me and I hope I was able to bring smiles to

a lot of your homes over the years. I gave everything I had day

in and day out and I hope you guys saw that as well.

Although our time has come to an end, I look forward to seeing

and playing in front of you all again. When that time comes,

I hope you remember all the wonderful memories we made

together. I love you Braves Country! Champions Forever! 

 

It is a classy goodbye from a classy player. 

Freeman wore the Braves uniform as well as any player before

him and he will always be known as one of the team’s all-time

greats. Unfortunately, baseball is a business and he and the

Braves are parting ways. If it had to end, overseeing a rebuild

that culminated in a World Series championship is a storybook

worthy end.

 A sad day in Braves Country!

This is one Braves fan who is very disappointed the Braves didn't come through

for their MVP... Back in the day would they have let Chipper Jones walk?

I think all Braves fans know the answer to that question.

030822 Tribute to our beloved dog Val...

Our special family friend

Better known as “man’s best friend”

Passed from this earth life between

2:00 am – 2:30 am this morning.

 

Valentina’s death was unexpected.

She barked an unusual shrill couple

Of barks to let us know something

Was not right.

 

She couldn’t get up and she was

Unresponsive. We believe

She had a heart attack.

 

She had a very good life and

She was loved and she gave us

So much joy and love.

Her tail wagged constantly!

Our Val will always be in

Our hearts!

- Hayden Childs

 

Dogs come into our lives

To teach us about love,

They depart to teach us

About loss.

A new dog never replaces

An old dog, it merely expands

The heart.

If you have loved many dogs

Your heart is very big

- Erica Jong

 

Dogs die. But dogs live, too.

Right up until they die, they live.

They live brave, beautiful lives.

They protect their families.

And love us.

And make our lives a little brighter.

And they don’t waste time being

Afraid of tomorrow.

- Dan Gemeinhart

 

A good dog never dies.

She always stays.

She walks besides you

On crisp autumn days

When frost is on the fields

And winter’s drawing near.

Her head is within our hand

In her old way.

- Mary Carolyn Davies

You can spend it any

Way you wish, but you

Only spend it once.

All personal achievement

Starts in the mind of the

Individual.

Your personal achievement

Starts in your mind.

The first step is to know

Exactly what your problem,

Goal or desire is.

- W. Clement Stone

I think everybody should

Take the attitude that we’re

Working to be a champion,

That we want to be a

Champion in everything we do.

Every choice, every decision,

Everything that we do every day,

We want to be a champion.

- Coach Nick Saban

To walk, run, travel, think,
