Jane Tomlin - Keep the Judo Medal

For Sean

You must have won an award for something? Football? Spelling? Advances in cancer research?
Winning awards is just nice isn't it?
It's a reward for your commitment, its being the best you can be.
It recognises your passion, your determination. It gives your mantelpiece a reason for being there; just above the fireplace.
And I bet you couldn't wait to tell someone.

Jane Tomlin
