I just wanted to say all you parents of younger kids enjoy the moments even the ones that have you getting up early and sitting in the rain and cold if they're into sports. My son is playing football but he's in grade 12, attended his last home football game last Friday and his last road game is this Friday followed by at least one but hopefully more playoff games.
We started him at the age of 5, it's been 12 years of 8am and 6PM practices, sun, rain, sleet and snow all over the Province, even playing in Ontario, LA, Las Vegas and many trips to Seattle. I've made some really good friends through the parent group, one of the dads is one of my best friends now we even vacation together.
We're still hopeful that he'll have an opportunity to continue playing football in either University or possibly the CJFL but until he gets an offer that's all up in the air. If this is the end it's been a hell of a ride, so many memories.
