She then went on to describe the sense of brotherhood and family of her son and his teammates, affectionately calling them the “not so little green archers.” Reflecting on the bond her son has with his friends, she added: “All the dinners after UAAP games, the daily trainings, the get togethers in between all amount to a whole lot of loving, support and a deep appreciation for our solid 🏀 fam. 🏹💚"
Dimples also recounted the bond between the parents, filling an entire restaurant floor with stories, laughter, and shared memories. She noted that none of the parents could bring themselves to tell the boys it was time to go home because they were clearly having so much fun. Dimples emphasized how watching their friendship fills her with pride and gratitude.
“Because they all looked like they were having a blast just being -KIDS. And I guess, this is what makes me proudest to be part of this team/fam/community. While our boys train hard almost everyday, caught a glimpse of what for me, is the top priority in all this- that our boys do not forget they are kids and they’re meant to PLAY, HAVE FUN and GROW together- LOVINGLY 💚,” the proud mom expressed.
Thankful for the priceless moment, she wrote: “What a beautiful blessing to share this journey with the coolest, most amazing parents 🙌🫶💚.”
The post also revealed the lighter side of the evening, as the adults found ways to entertain themselves while the boys played.
“Here’s to the bright future of our little basketball legends, more laughing, dancing and (even) kissing in between 😂😘💋 YES, we had to keep ourselves amused and busy while the boys played and so the parents thought it’d be nice to have a mini vows renewal over dinner 😂😂😂,” she joked.
