Being Their #1 Fan

Today I was able to attend my daughters lacrosse game and my sons baseball games. I learned my 11:00 a.m. that my body was really struggling with pain due to the cold and pushing myself too hard. I was too stubborn and would not leave either of their games. I missed so many games last spring due to this disease and the medications I was on, that this year I am determined to stay, support, and be their    # 1 fan.

My daughters game was first and after winning her two games yesterday their team was undefeated. It was so fun to support her and watch her excitement as she plays her favorite sport. The team won and made it to the championship game of the tournament but it was prom and the majority of the team would not be to the game. My daughter was not old enough to date yet so she was so disappointed that they had to forfeit the championship game. Their team

My son told me if I came to his game today that he would tell the coach to bench him. I told him, that's fine then, I will just watch the other boys. He just shook his head and laughed. He knew I was going to come no matter what. I know he worries about me, but he also knows I do not want to miss his Senior year of high school baseball. He plays 3rd base and is a key hitter on the team. I love watching him play, it is so rewarding to watch your kids set goals, work hard, and succeed in what they love to do.

By the time the day was over I felt utterly exhausted and in pain but all I can say that it was all WORTH IT! My family means everything to me and I will do whatever it takes to be there to support each and every one of them by being their #1 fan in everything they do!
