Tonight was an icky, cold, rainy night. They were saying roads and driving will not be fun. I really did not want to drive to Raleigh, So I decided that I would stay home. Hockey practice was tonight for Cooper and I never miss it. It was nice of a teammate who lives close by to offer to take him. So I got him dressed at home and dropped him over at the house and had a weird feeling of seeing him go. He hasn't been the one yet to get rides places or even have a sleepover. Having him be at practice without me was an awkward feeling. I then realized it should be- I have never missed one - I have taken him to every practice and been at every practice and game since he started at 3 years old and he's now 7 1/2. He must have thought it was weird too.
He came home and took his shower, put on his Jammie's and came out to sit with me and said "I love you mom". "I missed having you be there tonight." So it's worth all the miles and all the stress I deal with this year. It makes me feel better!
I also feel pretty lucky to be able to be there for my kids in whatever they do! Mom will always be there biggest fan!!
