Tyler
This was potentially a life altering moment. The envelope in my hand
trembled in my death grip. I couldn’t help but chuckle at myself. I mean,
labeling this as the most significant change in my life would be a bit of a
stretch. That happened two years ago, and that was the day I realized that
the world spinning on its axis was a lot like a ceiling fan full of dirty socks
on April Fool’s.
I used to find humor in pranks. So, I orchestrated a spectacle by hanging
my smelly hockey socks on the ceiling fan for April Fool’s. The resulting
chaos mirrored the unpredictability of life. As I now stood on the brink of
yet another crucial moment in life, I craved that thrill.
Weighing the thick envelope in my hand, I reminded myself not to overanalyze it. I glanced up to where Mum bounced on her toes in front of me,
an eager smile playing on her lips. I’d always been told I had her eyes. I
watched, heart pounding in my ears as her eager sea-foam eyes flicked from
me to the letter as I slid it from the white envelope.
“Mum, stop. You’re making me nervous,” I grumbled, secretly relishing
her enthusiasm. She’d been my number one fan since day one. Every time I
stumbled; she was right there to catch me. Now, she stood there nearly
buzzing with excitement, knowing that the contents of that letter could
upend our entire lives.
“Come on, Ty! You know I hate surprises.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
With a sigh, I looked down at the page in my hand.
Dear Mr. Riley,
Congratulations…
I didn’t need to read any further.
I froze on the spot, my heartbeat thumping in my ears. Mum snatched the
letter from me, clearly having lost patience with waiting on me to speak.
Her squeal should’ve snapped me out of my stupor.
This application was a long shot—the biggest fucking long shot of my
life. My mind raced between each thud of my heart.
Should I? Shouldn’t I? Can I do this?
“Tyler?” Mum squeezed my arm, and I turned to face her. She looked up
at me with those eyes that could read me like the books she wrote for a
living.
“Tyler, this was your idea. Even after my diagnosis I told you this was
your dream, not mine—certainly not your dad’s. You wanted the big deal.
No matter what you do, you know I’ll always be proud of you, right?”
Man, I hit the jackpot with my mum.
She wasn’t wrong. The NHL was my dream, always had been. I’d
watched games on TV growing up, hearing Mum yell and swear, eyes
lighting up as she watched the playoffs. I wanted to be on that TV; I wanted
her cheering for me like that.
That’s where it all started. If I said my mom didn’t have an ulterior
motive for taking me to the ice rink, I’d be lying. I knew she secretly hoped
it would give me a spark of inspiration.
