I remember when I was little and I was at some family event with my parents.

My Mom was watching my cousins play ball, some of them ran up to her and sang a song that they had learned in school. Another proudly showed her a ribbon he had won in an event called ” Field Day “.

Then my Mom looked down at me and I will never forget the the look of disappointment on her face.

Sometimes when I go back on that memory I try to not remember that last part, but it’s hard not to.
