Two days after Christmas and Espen was still full of the holiday
spirit. People were walking down the sidewalk in heavy coats with scarves
wrapped around their necks, shopping bags in one hand, a hot drink in
another. There were wreaths hanging in store fronts with big red bows on
them. Some had windows adorned with twinkling lights, while others had
an entire scene playing out.
I drove past a small group of musicians. Their melody could be heard
through my closed windows since I didn’t have the radio on. It was happy
and upbeat as a woman sang. Another block away were a few street vendors
selling what looked like gear for New Year’s Eve.
The light up ahead turned from green to yellow to red. I slowed my
truck down to a stop in front of people who were ringing bells as others
walked by. Some stopped to leave donations. Espen City Shelter was on the
sign propped up next to the carolers. It was a place I’d volunteered my time
at on countless occasions.
Being one of the Jetties meant we were involved in the community. Our
owner, Kasper Warnes-Wilder, was as much a part of this city as the teams
who played here were. But he was more than just the man who brought me
to Espen. He was the kind of person who had the backs of his players. Who
was there regardless of the situation. It was one of the reasons I accepted his
offer to play for him. That and the freedom to be who I really was.
The green light ahead signaled me to move on from the carolers. I’d
already stopped and picked up lunch from O’Malley’s, knowing my mom
hadn’t gone there in a while. She ate healthy, but every now and then, she
gave in to her cravings for one of their burgers. It wasn’t my go-to meal but
when I was buying for her, I got myself a burger too.
I drove farther down the road, made a few turns, until the traffic started
to thin a little and the sidewalks had less people on them. It wasn’t a bad
neighborhood, just not a place where there was as much activity. The stores
here were more mom-and-pop types, not big labels selling expensive
brands. And on the corner of Market and Thirty-Second was the urgent care
my mom worked at.
About a block away I was able to find parking, which wasn’t easy in my
truck. I had a Ford F-150 Super Cab, which I had taken to a shop to have
custom work done on. The windows were tinted dark.
There was a lift kit
and big, beefy tires on it with thick treads. The audio system had been
upgraded. The list went on and on. I always loved trucks and after a few
years with the Jetties, I traded my older model—that had seen better days—
in for this one.
