Must Brag

[farmcntry]

My son is every parents dream.
He's 7 right now, 8 in August.
He overcame some problems at birth so he really is special.

He's been the quarterback 2 years now for his flag team. Moves to pads this year.

He's been the 1st baseman or pitcher for 4 years now in coach pitch.

In 1st grade he made 100% on their EOG so they kept testing him and he passed the 3rd grade EOG's! (That's as high as they tested.)

This year in 2nd grade they moved him to advanced reading and math classes.
In his advanced reading class he had to get 6 points to pass out of a possible 20. He got 19.6 points!!!!!!!!!!
All straight A's in his advanced math as well!

So he's reading and doing math on a 4th grade level now.
I'm very proud of him.
He loves to hunt and fish all the time as well and HAS to stay outdoors as much as possible.
Now we're entering wrestling and martial arts and he's learning very quickly.

Just had to brag, your turn now.

FC, you have every right to be proud of your son. he's proof that good parenting still works.

our turn? OK, just remember, you asked. Our daughter got cancer at the age of 7. she was a fighter and after spending a year in the hospital, walked a way a winner against the cancer. unfortunately, she developed congestive heart failure from the chemo and radiation treatments. she looked like every other kid on the block. but she was far from it. at the age of 10, she had to have the ribs that cover her heart removed because the radiation had burned the nerves in her back where they attached to the spinal cord. she was a straight "A" student, was mentioned in the "who's who" in america HS students for her artwork. she got into rodeoing at age 14, and was very accomplished at barrel racing and goat roping. with a specially made chest protector and the Dr's OK and her begging. she attended college in NM at a college that specialized in rodeoing.
in january of '03, she entered a heart transplant center in san antonio, texas. after three plus months, she finally got her new heart. on april 23rd, after going thru all this, we lost our baby girl. we always were, and always will be, proud of our daughter.
