I'm going to start thinking of and writing about the things that make me happy. One of those things comes to my mind right away. On Fridays I help other football moms serve lunch to the varsity football players at Mission Hills High School. There are almost 70 football players and maybe 7 or 8 moms who help out. I know a lot of these moms and I know that they are very close to their sons. They come to all the games and I even hear their sons tell them they love them and speak very respectfully to them. Something that has never been cool for a teenage son to do in front of his friends though is give his mom a hug. Hunter and I are single-handedly trying to change that without even really thinking about it. Hunter is the quarterback of his team and although not a captain because he's only a junior, he is still a leader and an example to the rest of the team. After every lunch he comes up to me and gives me a kiss, a huge hug and tells me he loves me. I hope that by his example some of his teammates will not be afraid to show affection to the mothers that I know they love. Hunter is a very good boy and he makes me very happy.
