Sometimes it is not the winning that counts
Sometime ago we were at a funday/sportsday for people with special needs with our daughter. Our daughter was entered into a race. I stood a few yards at the side of the track in front of the finishing line to encourage our daughter. Well on she came doing her best but when she got abreast of me she stopped , said "Hello Daddy", and gave me a hug. Yep sometimes it's not the winning that counts. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
