Kids say the darnedest things.
It’s amazing how in life seemingly wild contradictions can occur. Like a nine-year-old boy displaying the wisdom and perspective of someone many years his senior.
Dr. Ben Hartnell posted to Twitter a letter his young son Fraser penned about what it means to him to be a fan. It’s addressed to Mark Dantonio, Brian Lewerke, MSU football and Spartan fans.
The letter swashes back and forth between to-be-expected comments from a nine-year-old, “My favorite uniform is the all white,” and stunningly poignant pieces of wisdom, like “There are a lot of things sadder than losing a game,” or, “I know it hurts to throw interceptions, but I have done it too. We all throw interceptions. I did not give up, because you can’t be a good QB if you quit when you do that.”
Smart kid.
Take a minute out of your day to read the entire thing.
Cheers to you Fraser–even though you’re a ways away from actually being able to “cheers”–and thanks for the dose of perspective.
