Not all of us have mothers worth celebrating, John. I try to find the “and,” to my brother’s statement that our mother was the most evil person he ever met. I can find an “and...” but I am still not certain she is worth celebrating. There is a balance on these holidays, isn’t there. I am so grateful when I witness good to great parenting. I go out of my way to thank parents who engage well with their children, and so I find it easier to celebrate your Mom with you than my Mom who sexually abused me, was narcissistic and destructive to her kids while the world considered her a saint. It is good to here others blessings, and be able to point to them with hope which we all need in spades now. So thanks again for doing what you are doing. I love seeing you free from constraint. Your humanity shows and it is glorious.

You think NIL is an issue? This transfer portal nightmare has to be stopped. If your head coach leaves, I’m all about you transferring, but this “I’m gonna take my ball and go home” attitude because you won’t start or become an All American at the institution YOU signed up to attend and play for is ridiculous. Love to see an article on this John. Stop the madness!
