Little brothers are fun. We went and hung out with ours last night - ok, technically he's my brother-in-law, but at 9 years old (almost 10) - I think "brother" suits him better. Jacob had flag football practice last night at the elementary school. It was a refreshing night, standing over the chain link fence we watched Jacob catch passes, weave in and out of the other players, and run like crazy. Arguably the best one on the team. It's funny how a night with a 9 year old can help put things into perspective. For a couple of hours, the worries and stresses of work and everyday life - don't even cross your mind. For a couple of hours you're reminded of what's really important. Hearing stories of playing with friends and the anticipation of summer camps coming up...
Oh, and our little football fan - just happens to be a gentleman too. He opened all the doors for me, and insisted that I go first wherever we were going. He's quite the little man. We finished by watching the last regular season Mav's game - laying on our tummies - me reading a magazine (that Jacob carefully chose for me), and him practicing his drawing. A real good day.
Nice. It's seems nearly everyday, we need to put it all into perspective - focus on the real.
