My oldest has taken up MMA (mixed martial arts) since arriving back home in June. I have noticed he is more dedicated and committed to practice than I have ever seen him before.
I am proud of him. He is keeping a very busy schedule, in fact I sometimes don't feel I get to see him too much except to say goodnight... But, through it all he is effectively managing his time on his own. He gets himself to and from practices, has taken up being a teacher's assistant for the little kids and makes sure he is where he needs to be and also completing his homework.
His first kickboxing match was tonight. My boys are growing up. They are healing. We are finding joy in our journey once again.
Be sure to tell him his uncle Steve is a HUGE MMA fan... if only you lived closer--he could be my MMA buddy.
