A great evening!

Tonight I had a date with a handsome young man who was such a gentleman. Dinner was out at the casino, so we had 30 minutes to visit on our drive to the casino. Dinner was lovely with a wonderful slide show and my little man was very polite to others at our table, but especially polite to the wait staff. After dinner I watched my handsome young man receive his trophy, patiently pose for many photos and took time on his way back to our table to shake the hands of many people who offered a congratulations to him. After everybody received their trophies we drove home and had a great time reflecting on the evening.

What a great time it was for Anthony and I to have an evening together, just mom and son! I couldn't be any prouder of little man! Seven years ago Anthony was fighting to live as he recovered from heart surgery and many other health issues. I didn't vision Anthony ever playing baseball, getting trophies, having a meaningful mother/son evening or trying to have conversations with me, so all of these are gifts to me from my son, gifts I am so proud of and excited to share with all of you!

Thank you Anthony for being our son, brother and friend to many. You are a gift to all of us and we are so thankful for all that you teach us.

Not only am I thankful to Anthony for a great evening, but I am very thankful to Lee and Leslie! If it weren't for Lee and Leslie I know Anthony and many other children would not be able to play baseball and won't have a dinner to honor their achievements. You two are so appreciated and there are no words that could ever tell you how much you two mean to our family, but especially to Anthony.


Anthony and Lee, his favorite coach!



Gotta love Otto.....Spokane Indians mascot.
