Well she did it! Sarah made the East Hills Cheering squad! I am very proud of her. I was told 50 girls tried out but only 18 made it. Although she has been cheering for 6 years,(enjoying every minute) I wasn't sure if she was going to make it. This was the first time she had to try out for a squad. I can tell you she was a nervous kid for the last few days. Practice started Monday went to Wednesday and Tryouts were today. Friday. Sarah has been practicing all week and even cheered outside for the neighbors whether they liked it or not! So the colors have changed to Maroon and White, but the cheerleader hasn't! Just wanted yall to know how VERY PROUD I AM! You Go Sarah!
How do I say goodbye to my mom. How can I do that and not hurt? Memories keep coming to me and I laugh or I cry mostly I cry. I cry because I didn’t write down that favorite recipe she always made when we came home. I cry because I should have had more patience with her. I cry because I won’t be able to sit and have tea with her. Ever. Never again. I cry for myself. I cry for my brothers. I cry for my children and their children. How do I make this hurt any less than it does? How do I make the tears stop flowing? Is there a way to make them stop? Maybe laughter. Maybe that is the way. Remember the good times. Remember hotdog soup. Remember frying pans knocking someone out. Remember the car rides to grandmas house. Remember the summer trips. Laughing helps but not for long. Family around me will be sure to help. Getting together and celebrating her. That will help. I now know that nothing will help. I think this hurt will last the rest of my life. I don’t want this. I want my mom....
