Anyway, I live my life with a soundtrack. I had a boyfriend in high school who asked me if my family will randomly break out into song...yes. Yes we will. And often. Back to my point, I have talked before how the kiddos go to this amazing school that teaches you to be Men for Others. I was reminded of that again this week. How does that tie into my soundtrack? Give me a minute, I will always come around to my point.
Why? Because one of the freshman player's little sister has cancer and is starting chemo and they wanted to show their support. These boys didn't think about what their short hair looks might be, didn't worry about what others might say. The kiddo? Well his hair is already a #3 so he didn't have to shave his but said he would have. I showed up to the Varsity game last night and the head coach had his head shaved, the other freshman coach I almost didn't recognize as he was all but bald.
So what is my point? I was listening to music, dancing around my kitchen while the promised brownies cooked for the most important men in my life, and Home came on. It hit me again, my boys are home. Their school that we spent all of dinner talking about, the school they get to at 6:45ish every morning, the school they are at for no less than 12 hours a day. The school that they have found friends, young and old, mentors, also young and old; the school where they have found family. These Men for Others are home; and this week the home shaved their heads for one of their own in their home.
Teenage boys might not be the easiest to understand, the easiest to be patient with, the easiest to understand, but this week? They certainly are the easiest to emulate when it comes to finding family and a Home.
