to my softball girls:
thank you so much for a great season. i really don't know what it's gonna be like tomorrow... my life has to go back to "normal"... but i don't want it to. softball has BEEN my whole life these past 3 months, and i've become so close to you all. how do i function normally without seeing you all at practices and games? it's going to be so odd. it hasn't hit me yet. :(
that plaque should have been ours. it was so close i could feel it. they don't deserve it. i bet they aren't a family like us. i bet they wouldn't take a bullet for eachother, but i know we would.
sure i'll miss the game: catching those pop-ups, saturday morning practices, fielding, wearing my MacArthur uniform. but ya know what i'll miss more than any game? the girls. how can you go 4 years and not love the people who improved with you, the people who sprinted with you during practice, the people you won with.
you guys are my family, my sisters. i will not forget any of you. never. <3
