He made it. He made it!!!

He gets to go to the state wrestling tourny!! He got 4th place. I'm so happy for him. This is the first time he's really worked hard for something and it paid off.

He's learning!!!

The look on his face when he won that match that got him to State was just PRICELESS....worth all the tears I've shed in the last six months and the sleepless nights!

I was thinking of J on Friday, was sending him telepathic good vibes.

Congratulations! Great achievement and great character-building opportunity. Bip - he could only turn around like that with your help!
