All Good Things Must Come to an End

Soccer is officially over. We had our State Championship last weekend and came in first place in the state. We were so proud of our girls and the way they finished out their last season together. What a way to go out.

Mia & Emma...
I have been an emotional wreck as I have gotten so close to these girls the past 7 years. I know I will still see some of them and keep in touch but it's hard to close that chapter of my life when we have been through so much with these girls...And I know it will never be the same:/

I think what has made it even harder for me was watching Mia cry and get so upset about this team being over. After our final game and medal ceremony, we had a team talk with the girls and parents and different girls shared about what the team meant to them. Mia walked up to the front where Jon was facilitating the talk and raised her hand and said she had something to say. Then she said "I just love you guys!" and started absolutely bawling. Let me just say whoever wasn't already crying started crying then. It was the sweetest and saddest thing ever. She could not stop crying and was just hugging all the girls. I mean she has been on the sideline of these girls games since she was a week old (literally). And she gets very attached to people so this has been really hard for her as well. Bless her heart!
