Today he wrestled three kids he had wrestled before. He pinned the first opponent, got pinned by the eventual winner (and put up a good fight) and then pinned his final opponent in the 3rd match of the day (he had previously been pinned by this kid). So the last victory was great to see.
After dinner, I asked him if he knew why I was proud of him. He answered, “because I never gave up.” I said, “yes.” I asked him again if he knew why I was proud of him. He said, “because I tried something new.” Again, I said, “Yes.” And then I told him I was most proud that when his brother came to congratulate him, he could tell something was wrong with his brother and he asked his brother if he was ok. That is why I am most proud of you today T-man - because you were having a great day and you asked if your brother was alright. I love you kid.
Tough match against a strong opponent
Right after having his hand raised for the 3rd place victory
With our little fighter (Marshall looking handsome for his red eye flight to Atlanta so he could watch T-man wrestle). It meant a lot to both of them that Marshall was there.
