I want to share one memory I had of her this week.....something I had long ago forgotten!
Alyssa has started basketball again. Her school team actually does not start for another week but she has played for a private league for 3 years now and that team has had some tournaments the past month. On Saturday they played 10 hours of BB. The had pool play on Friday night and then started playing Saturday morning at 9 AM. They kept winning so they made the championship game which was at 6 PM. That was a hard fought game. I am telling you, girls BB can sometimes make football look like a sissy game! (don't tell Tyler I said that) Anyone who says it is a "no contact" sport has never watch these girls play! Anyway, by that night Alyssa was really hurting. She had been slammed several times and her entire body ached. We were in the kitchen getting some Advil and she was going to soak in a hot bath. I suddenly remember a time my senior year, at the first of the track season, coming home from practice and being so sore that I cried. Everywhere hurt and my Mom came to my room and massaged my back and legs. I remember actually feeling a lot better afterwards. I told Alyssa to come upstairs and I would rub her body down. She laid on the living room floor for an hour while I massaged her sore body and we talked and laughed together. Thanks Mom for helping me create a memory with my Alyssa!

Good job Alyssa!
She is just like you. So athletic.
I remember Mom taking you all over the state for your gymnastic meets. You and Candy Clark.
Good times.
I have to first say that I totally agree with the whole thing about songs taking you back to a certain time, it's so true! Alyssa is such a good sport! Keep it up!
you are an amazing mom yourself lady! What a wonderful lesson I hope to use myself one day!!!!
So, I love that your girl plays basketball!!! I played sports in high school and college and I think it's so great to see girls that love sports.
