When Your Son Decided To Stop Playing

What were your thoughts and emotions when that decision was made?

Did you leave it up to him and stayed far away from it because it's his career, life and decision? Or, did you try and share your thoughts on it?

Did it matter if he was playing extremely well and still had years left/eligibility? Or, did he stop when it was the end of the road or he was no longer was successful at the game?

Did you know months into advance or was it a sudden fork in the road?

Was there something or someone that pulled him away, or, did he just no longer want to play?

Was it a blessing or were there second thoughts after?

Was it a relief for you as a parent and you quickly closed the book? Or, was it something that took you a while to accept?

How did your son's life change afterwards? How about yours?
