Just the Guys

This past weekend my wife, daughter, and foster daughter traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas, for a soccer tournament.

My son and I stayed behind in Louisiana because of his scheduled football game on Saturday.

The weekend, was in a word: great!

My son and I attended a high school football game together on Friday night. Then on Saturday, we practiced football plays in the yard and then I watched him play in his game that afternoon.

We followed up the game with a cook-out (yes, just the two of us). And then we watched some more football on TV.

What made this weekend so great? It's really simple: we spent time together.

I love my son. I love the young man he is becoming. I love his sense of humor, his compassionate, kind nature, and his love for life.

Every moment we spent together this weekend was a moment that I will treasure.

Am I a proud father? Yes. Am I blessed to have a wonderful son? Yes.

Thanks for the weekend, Drew.
