Seasons

By Lola Harmon Ramsey
 
N3 always welcome the writings of Ms. H-R and when we found this on her social media page we reminded her of how popular her poetic style is with our readers.
Thus pressured, she granted permission for us to share it with you.
 
Some seasons of parenting are better than others.
We just started the “organized” portion of athletics with our kids. There has been a lot of laundry to make sure they have all their jerseys and bottoms clean.  I love it.
We have had some frustration and tears. Things haven’t always gone their way. But this week, at the end of our fall seasons, we are making plays and got our serves over the net. And boy, those little things were big things in our house this week.
Nobody from the Olympic committee or the Heisman group has called and wanted to scout us and hopefully they never do. But this week....we started to see growth, confidence, and resiliency from our young people that we haven’t seen before.
And that’s the season I want to be in for a long time
