This is my awesome daughter after she made the JV volleyball team. I love the look of self confidence. That was a very tense day for both of us. I died a thousand deaths while she was at the final cuts of her tryouts. I fidgeted while wandering around in psychotic circles. I showed up early to pick her up, not having eaten anything all morning. I will never forget her face when she made it, the complete joy, disbelief that the coaches believed in her abilities, excitement of what was to come and relief. I know that these occasions are rare. Oftentimes our endeavors do not result in us raising our arms in victory. The fact that Bek has this look a week before the start of her first year of high school makes me think we are starting out on the right foot. May this be how you feel more often than not, my incredible daughter.
