During the recruiting process last fall, my mother was ill and I had to travel to her home several times. Our oldest child was being recruited and we decided, as a family, to have only dad accompany my son on his visits. I had been gone too much for the little ones. My son made his choice and, I have to admit, it wasn't my first choice (or even my second or third!).
Finally, we took a visit to the college he chose over this past weekend. Our whole family went and everyone had a great time. What a baseball atmosphere! 7500 fans on Sat and 6500 on Sun for non-conference games! Beautiful stadium and campus, good community and people, team is doing very well! Coach was smart to seat our family with several parents and grandparents of current players. We were able to ask questions and learn so much.
We also ate several meals with the coaching staff and they are wonderful people. It really helped me feel more accepting of my son's decision.
I just wanted to share that positive feeling and how excited I am for what lies ahead. He has great options, no matter what happens with the draft and is truly blessed. I'm taking a moment to stop and smell the roses!
