Hi Judy, it's not for me what your son is doing, but then again we can't decide what our children want to do with their life. I'm excited for you and your son that he's doing so well in his chosen sport. All the best. Ulla:)))

I would have probably never watched fighting if my son had not become a professional. but now I am an avid fan. Thank you so much for your review.

My grandson began wrestling a few years ago and my family can't watch. It was hard at first but I find it so rewarding and a good lesson also as it is an individual win or lose with none of the team favoritism and all. Well said my friend, to an even harder sport.

Thank you, Wrestling teaches them so much. This last Saturday, Nik was on National Tv. He was amazing and knocked the guy out in the second round. His perseverance paid off. I am so proud of him.
Comment from Judy Couch
Yes, it is amazing what they are able to do when we get out of the way and let them do it. I like the message of your poem.

We don't choose our children's destiny.
They find it
It is their Quest
not our ... I really like these lines. Nodding my head. :)
Great post. Good free verse. You are obviously a wonderfully supportive mom. What more could a child ask for?
Well done, jusylee. Nice to meet you.
Have a lovely week. Until next time,
Sonali :)

Comment from heyjude
Judy, wow. I think that would be scary. Maybe I've watched too many
movies where a fighter gets hurt. Of course, in all kinds of sports
there are injuries. As you said it is scary when our kids start driving
or move away from home. Is that a picture of your son?? If so, he
looks scary. Don't think I'd want to mess with him.

Comment from Kelly2
Very nice commentary on our children growing up and doing what makes them happy. I can speak from experience, it's not always what we would have chosen for them. But didn't we always just want them to be happy?
I liked your list of emotions. Is this a poem or a prose?
Good writing and subject!

This is so true. Whether we like it or not,we have to let our children choose what they want to do with their lives.
What exactly is UFC? Boxing?

Yes, it is and he is so amazing. He was fantastic last night. He won by TKO in the second round. He is so gifted. Soon, he will be a father. They are having a baby girl sometime in early December. I am so thrilled for them.
Comment from Sasha
This is marvelous, I do wish I still had a 6 to give you for it. You described perfectly the honest feelings of a loving parent. I remember how difficult it was to let go at times but you are so right we need to let them become who they want to be. Terrific work with this one.

I just got home. My youngest son , My husband and me just watched on National TV at a sportsbar my son fight .
He won by TKO, in the second round.
My biggest gift, is that despite the fact that he had to do interviews with the media. He called me for thirty seconds to say. I am glad you watched. My son loves me.
