FEELING SAD

for Allie tonight. She didn't make the 7th grade girls basketball team. She had been looking forward to this all year. Plus she also tried out for and didn't make poms and cheerleading back in late October. I know she was disappointed although she tried not to act like it. I plan to get her something little tomorrow and will leave it on her bed with a note about how proud I am of her no matter team/squad she makes or doesn't make. I remember middle school; I also tried out and didn't make cheerleading and basketball so I guess I can feel her pain. You only want the best for your kids and when they are sad you are sad. Allie, please know how much I love you and how totally proud I am of you for just being you!
