Humbled.....

Tonight has been an incredibly humbling experience for me as Timothy's  mom.  We have had so many difficult years with Timothy -- feeling as though we were so alone in this journey with him.  As this football season is coming to an end, I am so amazed at the different child I have today.

The Reading Eagle is doing a story on Timothy and the difference football has made in his life.  A reporter and photographer came to practice tonight and interviewed him and his teammates.  Timothy absolutely LOVED being the center of attention, and his teammates had fun with it as well.  When we got home, he told me that he almost cried when he heard all the nice things his teammates were saying about him.  For a kid who has never really had friends, he was so touched.

Since practice was at Bulldog Field under the lights, I was finally able to capture that incredible scene of his teammates rallying around him, cheering him on, and bringing him home as a team at the end of the night.  My heart just melts......
