Well this past week I felt a jolt of reality buzzing in my ear telling me to enjoy every moment because things never remain the same and sometimes change in an instant. We said goodbye to the boy's tennis coach this week. This may seem insignificant to some, but he came into our life two years ago and became a constant in the boy's lives for that period of time. He trained them 2-3 hours a day for two years. He made them sweat, he made them laugh, they did cry (not so much because of him), he made them believe in their abilities, and he made them strive to be better players even when they wanted to give up or give in to lazy thoughts. Mike's love of the sport was reflected on the court and reflects in my boys every day whether on the court, in a match, or playing short court in the driveway. I am so thankful that Mike was a part of their lives and we are all sad to see him go. But we do believe he needed to make different choices to fulfill his goals as well. Our family will miss Mike all the way down to Nicholas who has spent time with Mike as well. But this whole post circles back to just enjoying each and every moment....never take any moment for granted. So it is, we say goodbye to Mike and thank him for the wonderful memories the boys will always have... along with the fabulous technique he gave them.
Until next time...

Goodbyes are hard in any way shape or form. But, it does make you appreciate the hello's that much more. Liked getting caught up with your blog :)
