Some Kind of HERO

This Weekend we ALL went to watch

BRENT play in Midwestern State University's

Spring Football Game.

I can not tell you how excited I was to get to see him PLAY again.

His transition from college Baseball to college Football

has been a long, hard, uphill battle.
space

I am so proud of him for holding STRONG to his dream

even on the days when he felt the sparkle fading.

He hung in there and remembered that

most every GREAT someone starts at the BOTTOM.

It's the climb that builds the character

that no one can take away.

He's #32.

I am 100 % certain that I have NO CLUE what

he was doing, or what anyone else was doing.

I only know that he looked perfectly wonderful doing it!.

Monk Monk... (Brady's dearest WELL loved friend)

who was such a fabulous fan......

Also thought Brent looked incredible.

He plays Wide Receiver,
and I do know that most of the time a receiver
is a blocker while they wait patiently for
THE LONG BOMB PASS
when they get to score a touchdown.

I just could not get over how much BIGGER
he looked in PADS than the last time I saw
him in them during his last High School Game.
WOW..... he's gain 21 pounds
since he moved from baseball to football..
space

It must be a "GUY THING",

because I would have a Hard Time calling this FUN !
space

BUT.... HE LOVES it.....
AND I LOVE seeing him do anything that he LOVES..
and most importantly of all
I Love seeing him Happy !!!
That's pretty much all a mother can wish for.

After the game was over all the parents and fans

got to go down on the field to meet and greet

the players and coaches.

Somehow amongst the sea of players...

Brady spotted his bubba and took off.

I couldn't see him and almost panicked

until I spotted this !!!!!
I'm pretty sure it is one of my favorite pictures EVER !

space

There was just something about getting to his brother,

and putting on that helmet that caused a little fellow

to feel just as big as the guy we all call BUBBA.

space

Brent has No IDEA the impact he has upon us all.

He is the always quiet HERO we all lean on, love on, and look up to.
space

There is no greater THRILL in all the world

than seeing a smile on the faces of MY CHILDREN !

Every time I look into their eyes I feel like

I've been given a GIFT I did not deserve.

I am so thankful that I am the one they call Mom !!
space

May we NEVER take a single day

with our children for granted.

If you treat them as though there is not

a single person in the WORLD like them....

Then there WON'T BE !
