Their Moms Must Be So Proud!

Hello! I’m Matthew’s mom, Peg! Time goes by so quickly, doesn’t it? It seems just yesterday I was hiding a pained expression after watching my young loved ones go through an embarrassment and breakdown, or smiling so hard my face might break as they enjoyed momentum and success. 

Oh, wait! It WAS yesterday! How lucky can I be, observing Matthew and his brother playing sports and learning and growing through adulthood, and then my grandson enjoying a baseball youth through high school, and now my granddaughter being a baller on the basketball court in middle school!? I think of you moms all the time, too! When I watch a rookie playing professional sports on the television and making their first professional bucket, or hit, or goal, or reception, I instantly blurt out,”Their mom must be so proud!” What a journey you all experience through the years. 

And what about those dads? I’m tickled pink watching Matthew coaching and cheering on his kiddos. Dads are so important in these young lives, I’m impressed by all of you, yes! 

And this mom is extremely proud of her little guy and his life journey. I have the pure pleasure of assisting my favorite baseball freak and camera guy with his photography business and couldn’t be happier!

I’m currently retired and now working part time as an elementary orchestra teacher. I was a working mom and a pain in the neck with the stress of juggling career and child rearing, but I think my kids still think I’m OK!!!! Haha yay! I hope you are all finding balance in your lives. Your children's adventures in sports and hobbies are the best part of that balance. Take care! Peg
