We will never forget you, Abby. I know what you mean, or at least I think I do: you mean "don't dwell on me, don't dwell on my retirement. forget me." But you won't be forgotten. Even if you leave the soccer world entirely, we will remember the medals won, the records broken, and the sacrifices made, because you are the best. You are the GOAT, and you will leave a legacy, and an imprint on the hearts of the soccer community. Speaking as a forward, I will not forget you. I will learn from you. I will watch your goals and your highlights, and I will take notes. I will try to play like you, the best women's soccer player in the world, the Greatest Of All Time. I know that there can only be one of you, but the least I can do is honor your memory, and at least try to mimic your amazing playing style. Thanks, Abby. Thanks for everything.

I'm sorry for the feelz, but I needed to get this off my chest. I just watched Abby's last game, and I cried. Hell, I'm crying while writing this. #ThanksAbby #OnlyOneAbby
