My boys have been playing soccer since they could walk. Even earlier some would say. I love being at their games. I am so proud of them. This past week was Michael's first high school soccer game. I was so proud once again. I of course took pictures, yelled, and cheered. I may have even said something to a rival fan who made a comment about Michael "flopping" on a call :) Looking at the pictures after the game I didn't see my little Michael. I saw a young man full of passion for the game. He loves being on the field. He is strong and confident. I hope he always feels that way about himself. I hope all three of my boys do. I hope they know that I will always be on the sidelines taking pictures and cheering them on for all the important moments in their lives.
