It was my 7th grade year and we were staying late for practice so we all had to call our parents

I didn’t have a cell phone so I had to borrow Coach Quayle’s phone to call

I talked to my mom and she understood and I hung up the phone

I had no idea what happened but coach was suddenly mad at me

What happened was I hung up the phone with my mom without saying “I love you mom”

He explained to me that every time we hang up the phone or leave our parents or loved ones we say I love you as a constant reminder and you never know what can happen

Ever since then I NEVER hang up the phone without saying I love you
