My little chess genious
I will never forget after he taught himself how to play chess and he finally signed up for the first nationwide tournament.
We were in downtown Philadelphia and I remember waiting hours and hours and hours for him to come out and thinking how wonderful it is for my son to have such patience to be playing for so many hours.
I was crossing my fingers and praying the entire time so that he would place, as he worked so hard for this.
I remember walking in such nerve racking anticipation to check out the placing list and he seeing he placed 6th out of 186 people!!! I was so elated and so incredibly proud of him❣️
Yet to my painful surprise I’ll never forget how disappointed he was with himself when he should’ve been so proud of himself.
He was always such a high achiever and perfectionist. I just wish he hadn’t felt he had to be so perfect
I love you and miss you so much sweetheart, my sweet angel. I will never forget you and I will be with you every day until I can hold you in heaven.
