Mom160,
I too share your sentiments as I also have a senior. It was very hard to watch my son at State this past weekend and know that this was the culmination of numerous hours of hard work. It was truly rewarding to see him on the medal stand and know how much it meant to him. The one memory that stands out from all of the rest is when he gave me a hug at the end of the day and said "Thankyou for everything". I am so proud of the person he has become and am grateful for awesome coaches that inspired and motivated him to believe in his abilities.
