Hola!

Ok, this has got to be my biggest pet peeve....Leaving the field while your
loved one fights/shoots for your honor and favor.  I take it 1 step further.
I stand there at the list rope to watch Phelippe. I think it's not fair to
sit under the shade on your bottom watching drinking an iced drink, while
your lord/lady is in full armour fighting and sweating for your honor and
favor. (this is not a put down to anyone, just my personal feelings). Even
when I have my children, I stand there with my children to watch and wait.
What do the children think? They think it's great because they can help
daddy with his armour, cheer him on and they know he can hear them.

Saturday at Warlord, I missed Phelippe's 1st bout because I needed to assist
some newcomers with loaner garb. I can't tell you how badly I felt to have
missed being there for him. I made his 2nd round with no problem (even gave
him a good luck kiss). The 3rd round I nearly killed myself trying to the
list rope. Ever done a courtesy to the Royal thrones at a full run? I don't
recommend it. :-)

Will I do the same for my son? You bet! I love my children dearly and I know
it will hurt Ryan's feelings, if he looks over and not see his mommy there
at the list rope.

Ryan has already asked me for a favor, so when he fights he can "have
someone to bow to". (sorry, this didn't have much to do with the subject,
just thought it was cute)

Will I do the same for my daughter? You bet! She may not fight, but she is
my little artisan. It really does help her when I'm there for her when she
sets up at an event or when I help walk her through the tough parts on a new
project.

Maria
