Letters to Our Children: May
Dear Pookah,
I think you have played.. every position on your baseball team this year. You are still learning, and your coach, lucky for you, sees that you want to try all the new things.
But all season long, you’ve been BEGGING your coach to let you be the catcher.
You got your chance on Sunday and you were so eager…and proud of yourself.
All I kept thinking about the whole time was..my Daddy would have been so proud.
I cried out there on that baseball field as I snapped photos and video of you my baby.. I could hear my Daddy’s voice in my head saying:
Yeah…my grandson was the catcher today.
He would have been tickled pink.
And so proud.
So Proud.
I’m so proud of you too. No matter what position you play. But I’ll never forget the stunned joy on your face when they told you that you would get to be catcher.
And the proud look on your face after the game when everyone kept patting you on the shoulder and telling you good job.
I think we’ve found your sport.
Love Mama
All photos taken with my iPhone 6 and edited with VSCO. Because I left my camera at home.
I’ve decided to make my Letters To Our Children series a link up. Now, you can simply add your links below and read the letters of other moms and see their photos. There is no pressure. you can join up one week, every week, once a month, once a year. It’s up to you. Or you can simply read and enjoy.
Awww, what a sweet letter. He is going to love looking back at this someday! I should do this, too 🙂
So darn sweet! Love it. He makes a cute catcher too 🙂
That is so sweet! I need to make a letter to my son that he can open when he gets older. I wish I started doing that when he was a baby.
This is so sweet. I sometimes wish I had kept a journal or wrote my kids letters when they were young. Time goes by way too fast.
I’m sure he was so proud to be catcher! This was such a sweet post! My daughter loves softball and I think we will sign her up for a league sometime soon. I think she’ll have fun.
Oh how exciting! I’m glad he did well as the catcher. It’s such an important position!
I love this idea. So sweet to write letters. I think my kids would really appreciate something like this. Such a sweet post.
Isn’t it amazing when you get to watch your kid find their passion?? Congrats on a game well played by him.
Yasss they know what they want to do and he will excel with any position he does. Good job! Grandad is proud
Pookah is so lucky to have his mom. What a beautiful letter and handsome catcher!
What a sweet letter, this really is a great idea to write letters to your children. I don’t have children, but I could see how I would have loved reading letters from my parents later in life, had they written when I was little.
Aww. That is such a beautiful letter. And he is the cutest little baseball player! Be proud mama!
Such a beautiful letter. Seeing your kids succeed and do what they love is such a rewarding feeling. Looks like he had fun!
this is so cute. he is so handsome and i love the letter.
Awww how sweet and how fun too. I wish I had done this when my kids were small and still at home. I could start a “letters to my grand babies” though. Thanks for sharing this moment.
So sweet, my kids are totally making me soft in the emotional department. I love that your son had his moment and you were able to capture it. I also love that you were able to have a moment with your Dad although he wasn’t physically there.
beautiful!! I’m so proud of him too!! I know you must have been so happy and sad in that very bittersweet moment.
What a beautiful series and such a lovely and emotional letter to your child
It’s so great when they get to try something they love! Sweet letter and pictures!
