Son Awarded Rookie of Year

My baby, 11 yrs. old, was awarded Rookie of the Year recently. He played Defensive End. I thought I'd share my excitement with all of you wonderful patriots.

Congrats, philly - you both doing good. A wise old brown man once told me " Sons are for the healing of the fathers " and an old old off white woman once told me " a child can never out run the love of their father "

Thanks DMZ-LT.

I think your quotes were great. Could I, perhaps, change them slightly to fit a mother? Being that I am both mother & father to my two boys, I'd like to say that "Sons are for the healing of their mothers" and "a child can never outrun the love of their mother" . My boys will always know and feel that I love them with all of my heart.

Thank you again for your kind words.

Change away bro. I changed the sayings to fit you - I have two grown daughters that have my heart. Proud to know you Dad, i'll say it again - you doing good !

DMZ-LT,

You are funny. I'm a woman.

However, I am two roles to my boys mother and father. Thanks for thinking of me.

You should be proud. You must be doing something right as a single parent. Proud of the both of you.
Now if you want to good male roll models, bring up your boys and of course yourself and let Chris and I teach them fly fishing, and we'll let you come along to too. . . . if you stay out of the way of us men

.

Boy do I love to stir the pot.

Keith

You both are too funny. Thank you for the compliments. My folks have contributed to my efforts of raising my boys. My Dad, has especially, been instrumental in molding my boys lives. I have two wonderful and special boys that came out of my journey. Actually, I should say our journey together has been wonderful.

As for fly fish'n, you shouldn't count me out too soon. I could end up being your best study/pupil.
