I am so proud of Max for sticking with football. I still remember the year he began, when he was nine, how worried I was given the football injuries I'd read about. I told him: protect your head. A year later after our conversion, I quit worrying and placed him under Mary's protection. I am so thankful to the wonderful coaches and teammates he's had throughout the years.
Many of my friends are surprised to learn he plays because he's more known for his brains. But he loves the game and has grown so much, both in stature and character. I love you Max and I hope you will always use your strength, both moral and physical, to care for the ones who are weaker.
Tonight: Homecoming. Bishops are undefeated. Pray they are victorious!

Good luck, Max!
So many things in your future to miss, and you are missing them already... I think I went through the same process, hoping it will prepare me to let go.
That's great that Max plays football, what position does he play?
Woo hoo! :) Undefeated! Good luck, Bishops!!
Thanks you all. Bishops played great the first half and then the third quarter let the rival team score. I thought, not a tale of two halves. But they got their defense working again and won.
Mirka, yes, the things we'll miss :(
David, Max plays wide receiver. And because you asked, I remembered I'd taken a picture of his senior poster when I was manning concessions a couple of weeks back, so posted that picture :) It'll be fun to have it in his room after the end of the season.
Thanks Vijaya! Wow! That is a tough position. One has to be fast, have good hands and being tall helps.
