A photographer captured this picture of our boy and sent it to us.
Forever grateful for people's talents, those who share them, and the way they bless all of us.
My boy is struggling right now.
Sports can be hard.
There are expectations, personal and outward.
He had the best game ever in their first game of the season.
He hasn't had a repeat of that since.
He is down.
His coaches are down.
He is frustrated and sad and tired.
I just want to make it all better, but here we are.
Teaching and learning - all of us.
Speaking of football, this is what my kitchen counter looks like every Sunday.
Football pads and helmets and chin straps laid out.
Jerseys, tights, girdles, shoes, socks, pants are in the washer (they go through two wash cycles).
I sanitize their football pads and helmets every Sunday.
They stink so freaking bad.
They go back Monday with clean, healthy, disinfected stuff and this mama feels better about life in general.
Speaking of Coopy, he sent this to me Monday morning.
I love this boy.
