Our family loves bowling. We have been a bowling family for generations. It is the only sport that everyone can enjoy no matter what physical limitations there are. This past summer, we took my aunt who is 87, who was 87 (she just passed away yesterday) with us. She crawled on her hands and knees and demanded that no one help her when she rolled the ball down the alley. Bowling was her favorite sport and she told my kids stories when she would take me. It was important for her to tell them that she was the first person to ever take me bowling and that the first ball I ever threw was a strike. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to take her and giving her one of the best times she’s had in years. My sons will always remember this past summer with her and they will be able to tell their future families what Aunt Annie told them.
