Grit and Compassion

Today was a tough day on the mat for T-man at the district wrestling meet. He won his first match, but was pinned in his final two matches. He wanted so badly to do well so it was difficult to watch the tears flow freely after each loss. And while it was hard to watch, I saw other acts of kindness on the mat. When the ref got confused, T-man’s opponent told the ref that he didn’t earn the reverse. When T-man’s good friend had his elbow fractured, the victor in the match was visibly shaken and T-man shed tears worried about his friend. While hard to watch T-man lose on the mat, these acts of kindness remind me what is most important in life.
