Dear Kid,
Have you been watching the Olympics? Of course you have. Silly question. My apologies.
I love the Olympics. I am blown away by the athletes, the events (most of them), the coverage (most of it), the passion, the sportsmanship (most of it), the…everything.
I am also amazed by the incredible amount of work the athletes put in to reach Olympic-ness.
I watched (with much joy and love) how much time and dedication you and Pi put into your various endeavors. I watch (with admiration) how much time and dedication some of your classmates put into their various endeavors. There was a lot of excellence. But none of you were world class.
All in all, I think this is a good thing. As much as I love watching the Olympics (and other world class sporting events [most of them]), I love that you and Pi tried lots of different things. I love that you participated in many different sports. I love that you learned to cook and study (occasionally) and clean up (very, very occasionally). I love that you took time to hang out with friends and be kids.
And I couldn’t be more proud of you. You’re not in Rio. You’re not competing in the Olympics. But you’re pure gold in my book.
