Inanunsiyo ni Aby Maraño ang wakas ng kaniyang volleyball journey matapos ang mahigit dalawang dekada.
Matatandaang dating team captain ng Pilipinas sa women’s national volleyball team si Abby.
Sa kaniyang Facebook post nitong Miyerkules, Setyembre 16, inilarawan niya kung gaano kasakit bitawan ang sports na minahal niya sa loob ng 22 taon.
“Some goodbyes hurt more than others. And this one… hurts more than I ever imagined. For 22 years, dito ako umuwi. Dito ako natutong mangarap. Dito ako natutong matalo. Dito ako natutong bumangon. Dito ako natutong lumaban,” saad ni Aby.
Kaya naman kung tatanungin siya kung uulitin pa ba niya ang lahat, walang pag-aalinlangan daw niyang
“Because volleyball gave me a life I never imagined I would have,” anang volleyball player. “It gave me the privilege of wearing the jersey with PHILIPPINES across my chest.”
Dagdag pa niya, “It gave me teammates who became sisters, coaches who became mentors, opponents who pushed me to become better, and people who believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. Lahat walang tapon.”
Sa kabila ng kaniyang pagreretiro, tiniyak naman ni Aby na patuloy pa rin siyang susuporta sa larong ito.
