Emerging from the Shadows - Post Script

Coco has really been talking up trying out for the 2nd grade All Star team. I am really happy that he wants to try out and is confident about it. Now the kicker. Try-outs have been scheduled for the weekend that we will be going to NY to scatter Nanny Lil's ashes. This is going to be a hard conversation. I had to sound like a bad cliche and say "there's always next year." But it does hold true. The league, of course, can't do a solo make up session. This is going to be a discussion about priorities and taking one for the team. Coco is pretty good about that but I don't blame him for being disappointed. Again, making the team is not the point. It's the trying out that is important. Life lesson. Learning opportunity. Wish me luck.
