Today, I am a hero in my son's eyes.Sometimes, it takes pancakes for breakfast.
Or apologizing for my wrongdoing.
Or filling a big jug of ice water for a 100 degree soccer practice.
Or buying expensive baby formula for his animals.
Or praying for a new dog and no bad dreams.
Or allowing an occasional spin on Dad's four wheeler.
Today, all I had to do is some trimming, serging, and sewing to size down an adult competition jersey found at Goodwill to fit my skinny 75 pounder.
I don't get sweet smelling hugs from a girl in pink, or a giggly thank you. But I do get a big grin and a swell of the shoulders as he swaggers out on the practice field.
And for today, that's all the thanks I need.
And I just laugh when asked, "Who let Corona sponsor a kid's team?"
