My parents were athletic. My parents played baseball and basketball. I love to run. I am not really into sports. I like coffee. I try to eat well. I had cancer that made it impossible for me to have kids. I've recently had a painful diagnosis. I'm interested in working with kids. I have doubts about my ability to work with kids. I'm single. I'm thinking of becoming a foster parent. I want to volunteer to be a big brother.
I like coffee and wine. I have a mini van. I have five boys. My last son has just gone to college. I won my last game. my next game is next Tuesday, depending on the weather. I coach a kids team. I leave work early in order to coach. I enjoy coaching the kids. I have coached kids for 5 years. I was formerly a volunteer coach. I now get paid to coach. I coach Ice Hockey. I'm not very good at fishing.
How's coaching with the kids going today? It's going well, the team is still doing really well. Have you looked further into becoming a big brother? I did a little bit. I'm still nervous about working with kids, but the paperwork is half filled out! That's great! What are you most nervous about? I mean, they're kids! They're so impressionable and I'm worried I'll say or do something... you make it seem so easy! It's a lot easier to work with kids once you have five boys- especially with my sons. Now that they're out of the house, I have way too much time to think back on the mistakes that I made with them, so I understand what you mean. They're impressionable, but my kids turned out okay! I'm sure you'll be fine. Thank you, it means a lot. I didn't realize your youngest was off to college! They grow up so fast, don't they? I know, I know. It feels like just yesterday that he was only five years old and too scared to go to kindergarten. I guess that coaching the kids bring me back to that time. Kids are so fun when they're young, don't you think? Yeah, I'm hoping I'll be able to work with them. They're so lovely. I know that you said that you're interested in being a foster parent. Do you have a partner that would be willing to do that with you? Maybe I will some day, but I'm single right now. My health has made dating a little difficult at the moment. I can imagine! Being in remission must be a weight off your shoulders, though. Are there any lingering symptoms?
