First Day of Practice

Yesterday was the first day of baseball practice for Miles.  While it may seem like an insignificant thing, it really is a big deal.  For Miles, baseball is something that he really loves.  Like many kids his age, he loves sports and has aspirations of hitting a home run just like they do in the pros.  For me it so much more.  It's not about living out my dreams through my child.  It's not about developing the next super star.  For me the first day of practice is simply a reminder of what's important in life.  Miles and the girls are very precious to me.  Anytime I can spend quality time with them, to help nurture their dreams and provide them with opportunities to develop interpersonal skills its rewarding.

I have many dreams and aspirations for my children, but what's most important to me is that I do everything that I can to ensure that I plant seeds in them that will allow them to become the most beautiful roses the world have ever seen.
