Where do I start, what should be the beginning, hmmmm maybe the good stuff.

My son competed in his first karate tourney this weekend. He had a great time and did an incredible job. He has a problem going up in front of people he doesn’t know, so I thought for sure he would freeze up or have a tough time. Turns out that my son surprised the heck out of me. He took second place in the weapons group for his age, 3rd place in the forms group and 4th place in point sparring. His first sparring match was against a 10 year old who towered over him. I thought he was going get killed but he held his own and actually scored two points on the much larger opponent. I was so proud of him. He surprises me so much every day.

Now the bad stuff.

Took my daughter to the doctor in Boston yesterday and she is going to have to have surgery. We knew she was headed down that path but yesterdays visit just confirmed it. So we are bracing for it and hoping for the best. Her surgery is scheduled in August and I’ll post more when I know more.

On my health side, I have been feeling worse and worse as the weeks wear on. I’m not sure if it is the medication or the general degeneration of my health. I just know that I haven’t felt well in a long time. I’ll find out more at the doctors tomorrow and hopefully it is something that can be easily fixed. I’ve been a bit down lately and my health hasn’t helped the situation. If it isn’t has really lowered my hopes of surviving to see my kids grow up.
