Things I Think Are Really Cool About My Son

Valentine’s Day has come and gone, however, my son has just returned from the Middle School Ski Trip.  So, in keeping with my recent “Valentine” blogs, I wanted to share some thoughts about my son, William Wesley Holbrook.  Here’s what I love, um, I mean, some things that  I think are really COOL about him:

I think it’s really cool that he seems to like hanging out with me.

I think it’s really cool that he makes better grades than his dad ever did.

I think it’s really cool that he can flat chunk a baseball or a football.

I think it’s really cool that he is a BEAST.

I think it’s really cool that he cares about what is right and what is wrong.

I think it’s really cool that he tolerates and, sometimes, loves his little sister.

I think it’s really cool that he notices when his friends are not doing well.

I think it’s really cool that he trusts Jesus.

I think it’s really cool that he loves his mom and shows her respect.

I think it’s really cool that he can be dangerous.

I think it’s really cool that other adults compliment me on his manners.

I think it’s really cool that he is taller than me.

I think it’s really cool that his musical tastes are diverse…like mine.

I think it’s really cool that he likes to hunt and fish with me.

I think it’s really cool that he can drop bombs from the 3 point line.

I think it’s really cool that he jumps in the swimming pool on New Year’s Day.

I think it’s really cool that he is becoming my kind of man.

I love you son.
