"Mom! We're looking for rabbits!" My son says excitedly as he and his older cousins from Florida search for bunnies in Grandma's backyard. "Oh, really?" I ask. My son looks back at the older boys who have now spotted a perfectly good slide to jump off of.
For them, this conversation is over. Jumping from great heights has now trumped chasing rabbits. My son innocently turns to me and excitedly yells from across the yard....... "We're not talking about that anymore Mom!" He shrugs his shoulders and runs off to jump, to fly, to........give me a heart attack.
Whether it be chasing rabbits or diving from great heights, my son gives 100 percent. I can see it in his face, full of sweat and dirt.......full of heart and soul. He listens and he listens hard. He takes it in and holds it with passion, dedication and determination.
Just the other day, he was playing on the basketball court with my husband and saw a lollipop stick. He stopped his game and told my husband, "Dad this is garbage. We have to throw this out. It's not good for the earth."
He is an inspiration. He stops me in my tracks. He is my teacher.
