I'm a little unsure of what Blakeley's exact thesis after reading her piece. However, I think it could be somewhere along the lines of the fact that motherhood isn't always about being a feminist, or even a mother, and that kids teach their parents the significant values of life sometimes.
Rhetorically, I think I could make a thesis that says 'Blakely uses her relationship with her son versus her son's relationship with wrestling to develop a metaphor about understanding life and its values. She does this by heavily utilizing her audience, and a strong ethos and pathos appeal to relate with her readers.'
