Mom160--I do know who you are and I definitely know how you feel. Your son is an awesome young man and wrestler. As I went through senior night, the last dual, regionals and then state. I kept thinking aren't I gonna cry or something. Well, it wasn't until I saw them raise my boys arm...finally, in that State Championship match, that tears of joy just poured down my face. I/He/We have waited so long for him to achieve this milestone, but it was definitely worth the wait. I actually feel no sadness that this season is over...more like fulfillment. I want to thank my wonderful son for giving me such a great and entertaining ride over the past 14-15 years in wrestling. Wrestling has not only made him better in life, but it has made me better too. Being his mom has made me a better person. I want to thank everyone that has spent even 5 minutes helping, encouraging, coaching, correcting, hammering on, my son. He has become a fine young man and wrestler and will hopefully, be an even better asset to society. I close not sad but hopeful. Hopeful, about what he will become and that I may possibly get to see him wrestle again and thankful. Thankful, that God let me see a little corner of heaven when he gave be that scrony little 7# baby boy, that had projectile vomiting, and we thought would never amount to anything, and turned him into 200+ pounds of muscle and sweat.

Thanks Mom160 for bringing up this topic. And thanks God for giving me another son to watch for one more year.

Ms. Jenni
