so i know that i tell stories about school and clinicals but i need to share my day from today. I had the most wonderful time with my daughter. We had to get up super early for her meet, like 5am. We did have enough time to get breakfast and coffee together. We talked all the way down there about odds and ends, got lost alittle on the way there, which we always find funny, and finally made it to the meet. I can't explain the way i feel when i watch her compete. She so strong, detrmined and graceful during her events and in between times shes cutting up and laughing with her friends. I have finally quit crying after every event but i still pray everytime that God will give her sticky feet and the concentation she needs. I am never more proud though when she is a good friend. There have been times when a team mate has done poorly or gotten hurt and Natalie is the first one there to offer comfort. Atfer the meet we went to dinner with the grandparents and again has so much fun trading stories. when we got home we had drank hot tea together and talked about the day and the week to come. Shes is the funniest kid i know, she clever and witty with her humor. I loved being with Natalie today, Just her and I laughing the day way.
