Cole had his first wrestling tournament and first match and it was varsity. Scary! Most of these guys at the tournament had been wrestling well before high school. I was so sick Friday and felt worse on Saturday. I don't know if I coincidentally had a virus or if it was my nerves, but I really felt awful. The little kids were REALLY good. We had to drive 2 hours and were there from 9 to 4. That's a lot for them.
So, onto Cole. He lost his first match with a pin, but not very quickly. He won his second match with a pin and lost his 3rd due to points. He did EXCELLENT and I am so proud of him. But, I have to say it was painful to watch. Watching him turn red and look like he was in pain, which he reassured me he was not, just was scary for me. I told him I didn't get a picture taken because I was too busy biting my nails. He was glowing! He was part of a team for the first time. Cole never was supposed to compete in any high school sports. We got this lifted for wrestling so he could live his life and he did. I pray he gets to enjoy it for many years to come and his valve will wait for him. But, if his valve doesn't wait he'll be okay. We've already been talking about the possibility and to enjoy everything while it's here.
My boys is beyond tough in many ways.
