I can’t look! But I have to. My son will once again be stepping into the cage for another MMA fight this weekend. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around why he wants to get hit by someone. It’s even harder for my heart. I just want to protect him.
When he was little, anything that potentiated harm to him turned me into momma bear. Now he is a man and I have to watch from the sidelines. That doesn’t mean I will stand idly by and watch him get hurt. Well….except in this instance. I can’t really get into the cage with him.
He has trained hard and made sacrifices to get here. He will do his very best to put his skills to use against his opponent. I will be there to cheer him on. I will be the one in the crowd wearing his logo on my t-shirt. It will be hard to miss me. I will be the loudest one!!! #proudmomofaboy
