SAN JOSE -- The number on Simon Dawkins' jersey carries special weight this Mother's Day weekend.
No. 49. The age his mom died on May 6 last year after an ordeal with breast cancer.Dawkins, 28, will carry a heavy heart but unbreakable spirit into the Earthquakes' game Saturday night at Seattle to pay tribute to Lorna Dawkins on the anniversary of her passing. "It is a sad day to remember but I have only happy memories of Mom," said Dawkins, who scored his first goal of the season last weekend. It was the kind of goal Lorna would have loved after dedicating her life to helping her son become a professional soccer player.
