Time for me to do a little bragging.

My twin 17-year-old grandsons are down in Missouri playing in the National Christian HomeSchool Basketball Championships. There are 364 teams playing 1401 games in a week-long event, the boys have won 5 straight games and will play for the championship in their age group tomorrow. The really cool part is that the playoff and championship games are streamed live on YouTube, and I've been able to watch them play. This is one of the few times I'm glad I have an 85" TV. As the ending buzzer went off, the boys ran to their team bench and celebrated with their teammates, two minutes later I got a text from them saying they hoped I liked the game, and they loved me. With all the problems I had bringing my kids up as a single parent, this makes it all worth it. I taught my kids the meaning of respect and honor, and I have lived to see it passed on. I'm not too proud to say that they brought a tear to this old man's eye. Win or lose tomorrow, they will always be winners in my eye.

My hats off to you. I too was a single parent, people use to ask me how did I do it. Well it’s something I never gave thought I just did what I had to do. Thank gI’d my son & daughter now 48 & 47 turned out beautifully as well as their children.

You guys are tearing me up, after a bad first quarter, they got it together, dominated the second half and won their division Championships. I will post a picture when I get it.
