Today I watched my son pitch for the first time in 18 months. The kid has dealt with more injury and adversity than he deserves. He has worked his ass off and is still dealing with it, but today he was great. He knew it, the coaches knew it. I cried. Small victory because he isn’t out of the woods, and I’ve now learned that expectations are futile. Today was a good day and I’m thankful that I got to see him pitch again. I’ll hope that there are more days like this, But I’ll also try to stay in the present and be thankful. Oh, and he is graduating in December…3 1/2 years. Very proud of him.

I am happy for you. And for your son too. Baseball can be cruel so you are right to celebrate the small victories along the way. I hope there are a lot more of them.
