Wow...so great to know that I'm also not the only one who worries so much during this time of year. The madness is gutwrenching, but oh so worth it when your kid wins...especially if they make it to state. Seeing your child walk out on that mat knowing their in the top 16 of the state, what a rush, can you imagine what the kids feel like? Our anxiety has been greater this year, moving to a new district and being at the bottom of 14 & Under...wow, it's been a hard year. When you're used to winning most of your matches and placing at state, and you go to struggling this year with all of the changes, it really makes you appreciate the matches your kid wrestles alot more, and winning becomes way more exciting. I've never cried after my kids matches (except the first year he placed at state), but this year I've caught myself crying a couple of times after some real nail biting matches. Now wondering the same as everyone else...who's gonna be at Districts...is he gonna feel well...etc...etc.. The only comfort I get is knowing that he'll give his best, and that he's doing what he loves...and that when he does win, it's because he's worked his butt off for it !! Tomorrow morning my stomach will be filled with butterflies, and my palms will be sweaty..but, we'll be ready to wrestle !!
