No regrets

T TxMom500+ posts
Our youngest son got the news today that he didn’t make the final roster as a transfer walk on at a TX D1. Of course he’s disappointed, but he’s excelling in a degree program that he really loves and believes that everything happens for a reason.

I hate to admit it, but I’m a little relieved. I’ve watched him struggle and work through surgeries and rehab for the past 3 years and I know he would never quit voluntarily. He told me he has no regrets. It was nice to hear him say that. He had to make some tough decisions along the way, but he made them, gave every opportunity his best shot, and didn’t look back.

I guess the reason I’m posting is because I believe he laid the foundation for the peace he feels today by making his college selections based on what was important to him, not anyone else, and trusting that God would guide him.

Believe me, when the time comes to for your son to “hang up the cleats” nothing means more than to hear him honestly say, “I wouldn’t have done anything differently.” I know I’ll sleep better tonight …and I’m sure he will, too.

TxMom, sorry to hear about the setback Frown

I had been hoping for a good reports on your son since discussions in another topic last fall
the degree pursuit & focus is pretty cool and a definite plus


now I'm going out on a limb, so keep a saw handy dirol

the 6'4" rhp drafted by the Cubs a few back has got to be bumming a bit -
it's understandable how a guy's rehab timetable could cause a coach's tough decision when he had to trim a roster, but - IF it sinks in that it was numbers and timing thing -
perhaps he'll see it as just another setback - here's hoping anyway

don't be to quick with the saw, ok?

and good luck to Chris whatever happens

Lois,

Thanks for letting us know, as I had been wondering also. It sounds like Chris really made good choices based on what was most important to him for his future. I hope you don't mind if I echo part of Bee>'s thought, that if he did decide before next year that he wasn't quite done yet, this HS draftee could still take another shot at it. But it sounds like he will be very happily working on the next stage of his life.

Very best wishes to both of your sons!
