Well THAT is a given!
Actually, my intent wasn't for my post to be just about OUR situation. Altho, I do thank both of you for your input. My intent was more about HOW people deal with this sort of roller coaster ride. I do know that not everything is perfect all the time for all of us....if that was the case, we would all be batting 1.00!
Actually, I personally think baseball might be a little MORE of a roller coaster ride than some other sports and endeavors. Yes...I love my son (as Oldslugger so correctly predicted! )....but he has also had difficult periods in OTHER endeavors of his that have not resulted in the same roller coaster ride that we have experienced with baseball. And...we have always found a way to not let those other endeavors take over our lives as baseball seems to. So...what is it about Baseball that makes it more of a roller coaster? Is it the mentality that it is a game of more failures than successes?
