I don't think there is much else you can do, except be proud of what an accomplished, mature and gifted young man you and Mike have raised.
You could also brag a little, we would love to hear how he came to be representing the US in such a prestigous way.
I have a strong feeling he'll be just fine. Prayers continue.... |
