Life has a way of breaking your heart… and then, somehow, letting it beat even stronger in the very next moment.

I’m a lifelong Georgian. The Atlanta Braves have always been my hometown team. And this weekend gave us one of those moments you don’t just watch… you feel.

Dominic Smith, new to Atlanta, steps into his Braves debut and launches a walk-off grand slam!

History.
First player in MLB history to do it in a team debut.

The stadium erupted.
His teammates rushed him.
It looked like pure joy.

But underneath it… was something much heavier.

Just two weeks ago on March 15, he lost his mom, Yvette LaFleur, to cancer.

Two weeks.

And in the middle of that moment, with the entire city celebrating him, he said he “got choked up a bunch of times” thinking about her.

Because that swing wasn’t just about baseball.

It was about the one person who helped get him there… not being there.

And then you learn her story, and it hits even deeper.

She didn’t have an easy life. She battled addiction. Lost custody of her two children. Reached a point where everything felt like it was falling apart.

In her mid 30s, pregnant again and trying to rebuild her life in LA, she didn’t think she could go through with it.

“I was pretty sure I was going to terminate my pregnancy… I just wanted my other two kids back.”

Let that sit for a second.

She was at her lowest.
Trying to fix what was already broken.
Not sure she had anything left to give.

But she chose differently.

She chose to keep going.
She chose to fight.
She chose life.

And that child was Dominic.

And that decision… that one fragile, uncertain moment… led to a man standing under the lights in Atlanta, rounding the bases after a walk-off grand slam… carrying her with him every step of the way.

That’s bigger than baseball.

That’s love.
That’s redemption.
That’s what second chances can become.

Somewhere along the way, she turned her life around. She became the mother who showed up, who supported him, who believed in him from the very beginning.

And in that moment… you could feel it.

Every swing. Every step. Every emotion.

It was all for her.

Welcome to Atlanta, Dominic!

We’re proud to have you. And there’s no doubt… your mom was right there with you. @TheRealSmith2_

Sheriff Dean had hands the size of a dinasaur’s and a heart even bigger than his hands. He was rough and tough and spoke with force, and always looked out for the little guy. Textbook legend 🤠

We lost a great Floridian in Senator Charlie Dean. A mentor to many of us, he will be missed. Go rest on that high mountain. #rip #flapol

Nothing brings me joy like the Vance memes & knowing he leaned into it like a boss

But make no mistake, Vance is an assassin. Don’t debate him. On anything. Quick as a computer. Maybe quicker.

He’s the best blend I’ve ever seen of us&them
