It's hard to believe Tim will be 17 this Mother's Day. It seems like yesterday that he was still a baby. Even though we have enjoyed every moment of his growing up it still seems it's gone by way too fast 💨. The maturity that he's shown over the past year in a half is like that of an already grown man. It's been a privilege to raise such an amazing kid. We didn't know all those years ago when he was baby that we'd be raising a kid that would be so focused on athletic goals as he has been but God did. God knew the focus we would need as parents of a child that would be an elite athlete. He knew the huge amount of guidance we would have to give him along the way & it was a huge learning curve for us. We made mistakes along the way. What parent doesn't? No parent is perfect but we have always done everything we do for him with his best interest in mind for the goals that he has set forth to accomplish, NOT US! Being a parent of an elite athlete is not an easy job. Athletes are driven toward goals. They are determined to meet all their expectations head on. They push hard all the time. They never give up! When they aren't physically training, they are mentally training. As a parent we've guided when guidance was needed and we've most importantly been supportive of him as he goes hard after his goals. Tim knows his athletic gifts are from God. God has guided him and us every step of the way as he's continued on his athletic journey. We are so thankful to God for the gift of Tim. God has amazing plans for him and we look forward to seeing them all play out in his life. Can't wait to celebrate his birthday on May 11th. He was born on Mother's Day so when his birthday lands on Mother's Day it makes that Mother's Day extra special because we get to have a double celebration😊😍.
