Bru-In-Law's Birthday

am in awe of my brother-in-law. Mike is the most positive person I know.... has never met a stranger and he has this uncanny ability to bring out the very best in others. I believe that when God wanted THE model of a girl's softball coach, he reached down grabbed a handful of Davidson county red dirt, formed it into a ball and made coach Lambros.... that's my brother-in-law, Mike. He is a teacher and a successful softball coach at North Davidson High School. He has had a tremendous impact on everyone around him and especially his students. I know of young men and women who have written letters to him from Iraq, in the middle of war thanking him for the discipline that he instilled in them.... a discipline that was enabling them to get through tough times. I've walked through local grocery stores beside him, stopping every few steps to watch him speak to students past and present. I've seen the way their faces light up as he engages them in questions about their life. He's had his share of battles, so to speak, with kids, parents, administration and with red dirt .... but the toughest battles he's fought have been with himself and the decisions he's made. You see I am a photographer...if I make a bad photo I can erase it and make a new one, I have a second chance......when you make decisions concerning the life of a young person, most often, you only have one chance.

I am so proud Mike is my brother-in-law but I much prouder that he's my friend. Happy birthday bru-in-law ....I love you!

We celebrated his birthday in true bru-in-law fashion starting with good ole' chicken wings from Ted's.
