Oh my! It's all coming back to me and I remember why I loved this site so much. Group hug! Seriously, your support and encouragement always made a huge difference for me.
To all of you with sons taking the field this week, I want to wrap my arms around you and whisper, "Everthing's going to be fine." I do remember how hard it can be. However, the challenges they face and overcome will make them better men. I promise!
Hang in there. Enjoy the sun on your face, the smell of the grass, and the sight of your son in his uniform. Take it all in. See your blessings and choose joy.
