David Ousted - Vancouver Whitecaps

"Cherish [your mother]. You only have one."


They're words to live by on Mother's Day ā€“ and every day ā€“ from Vancouver Whitecaps goalkeeper David Ousted, who shared a moving story about his own mother and her struggle with cancer as part of the team's "Their Words" series.


It's hard to do Ousted's heartfelt writing justice here, so I'll leave you with a strong, strong recommendation to follow the link above or the tweet below and read his story. Fair warning: it may get a little dusty wherever you find yourself reading it.
