I could go on for days about my children and how proud I am of them, but since my son had his first freshman football game tonight and won 38 - 0, I'll tell you about my proudest moment tonight. My son spent his entire summer dragging his butt to strength training every morning, then to practice each evening just obtain a spot on the team. So tonight when we showed up at the game, I was surprised to not only see him being a starter, but he was playing offensive and defensive line. However, as happy as he is about this, mom was not. On that line, he is at the bottom of every pile, crushing helmets with the opposing team and doing whatever it takes to protect their quarterback, and sack the opponents quarterback. Within the first quarter, he took a hard hit and went down. I cringed, rose up from my seat to watch as the coaches ran over to him. Tears start streaming down my face as I'm cutting the circulation off my husband's arm and over the loud speaker we heard "Adam says to tell his mom he's alright". The crowd cheered, they helped him to his feet and the game went on. When the game was over, prior to going into the locker room with his buddies to celebrate, my son came over to me and said "I just didn't want you to worry mom". It's a rare occassion when a teenage son would go to great lengths to worry more about my reaction than to his own injuries. It was truly a proud moment! Thanks for allowing me to share!

I'm proud of all 3 of my kids for lots of reasons. What I am proud of most is the fact that they are not prejudice in any way. They aren't into the perfect clothes and daddy's big shot name game, like so many others. They will treat everyone as their friend, no matter what. They are hard workers in school, getting all A's and B's. My oldest daughter likes to volunteer with younger kids. They may drive me nuts some days, but I could have it ALOT worse!

My pretty princess is 6 years old. I could sit here for the rest of my life and tell you all the different ways that I am proud of her. One of the many things that I am most proud of her is a few months ago she had to go and have an MRI done. I was concerned that she wouldn't lay still for the half hour it took for the tests. Anyway we were both pretty scared because neither of us knew what to expect. When we got to the MRI center we walked in and she told the nurse her name and stated that she was there for her MRI and she was going to be super brave. When they called her name, she grabbed my hand and wanted me to go with her. Then just before the machine started, she looked at me and squeezed my hand and smiled,"momma, I'm gonna be okay". With tears streaming down my face, I watched as my 6 year old daughter went through her first MRI. When she was done and lifted from the bed, she came running over to me and gave me the biggest hug I had ever gotten from her,"see mom, I was okay".

Extremely proud of all three of my sons.
First son - age 32 today actually. He has been married to his high school sweetheart for past 9 years and been with her for 17 years. They have 2 gorgeous daughters together and they are the sparkle in Papa's eyes. He quit school after grade 12, worked at a couple lower paying jobs while he was completing his apprenticeship as a tool maker. He now has a very good job, lovely house and is a very responsible young man.
Second son - will be 25 in 24 more days. He was in trouble a little earlier in his life. Was imprisoned and granted parole. Left the community and relocated out west. He was very prejudice against Asains when he was younger and now is engaged to a girl from Taiwan. Funny how Karma works. He has gratuated from university now and has just received a job as an Importer/Exporter at a small money management company. He actually spoke with his older brother earlier this evening and he is going to e-mail his resume to him so he can perhaps do some networking for him in the company where he works.
Third son - will be 22 in November. He also quit school after grade 12. Worked at a call centre for a couple of months and then decided to relocate out west with a good buddy of his. Is young and made a wise decision as he was running with friends that were poison to him. He and I found a man in our basement before he left that had committed suicide there 4 days earlier. He was really shaken up by this sight but was brave and wise enough to go for counselling to help him handle it better. He is working out west with some company that puts up big tents at events. Earning a decent living and now considering returning to post secondary school himself. Has seen his middle brother for first time in over three years and they now get together 2 or 3 times a week.
These are my reasons for being a proud parent of all my sons. Although none of them were raised with a silver spoon in their mouths, they are all hard working young men who are not afraid of a lunch pail and a thermos to earn a living. As well all have been in various forms of trouble with the law when they were younger but all have learned from these experiences also.
Thank you for allowing me the time to brag a bit about my sons.

my kids are small, so I would have to say how my three year old makes sure my one year old has whatever she wants. Even if he is going to get in trouble for giving her the crayons to write on the wall, t.v., dressers or anything else she can reach, he will. But then he tells on her so she can get in trouble to. it makes me proud that they get in trouble together.

my son was racing to win a presidential fitness award medal when one of his friends, a young girl, tripped and fell, cutting her knee. he stopped, considered that if he would help her, he would lose his medal, then all on his own went over, picked up the girl, and walked her back to the teachers so she could get help. he lost the chance to win his medal, and was the only boy in class who didn't get one. but he helped his friend. not bad for an 8 yr old. i was really proud of him.

I love my babies more than anything else in the world! My son is 3 and he's just huge. He's so independant, and even tho he was a late talker, he's definitely caught up by now! And my baby girl is 1, she was walking before her birthday. She already says "mama" and "thank you". Plus, I feel that I have the most beautiful babies in the world!

i find i am most proud when they are getting along. when the big ones play sweetly with the little ones, when the little ones dress each other up or read books together. when they think no one else can hear them or see them, and they're working it out on their own.
