been very busy with sports the last few days… last night had dinner with my daughter and oldest grandson and then went to watch his soccer game…
tonight I went to their house and we had Chinese food for dinner – tomorrow is Jeff’s birthday – and then went to the second grandson’s soccer game…
both nights the weather was great, although clouds blew by… both boys played very well and I could see the improvement in the oldest, as I had been at one of his games before going to the coast…
reminded me of my dad… he was an athlete in his youth but as an adult he suffered from emphysema so couldn’t participate in sports but he loved to watch and support them… we often went to events at the Arena – for skating and running… Dad taught me that the important thing was to do your best and we always cheered for everyone, not just the front runners…
we followed that same philosophy with our children and now our grandchildren…
what a blessing to be able to see them having fun and learning great life skills…
