The end...

[sportybabe243]

4 years, 4 seasons, scrapes, brusies, cuts, tears, laugther, wins, losses, and so many memories that I can't even begin. I realize how much of a part this game plays in my life and in keeping me sane and happy. These girls and this team make up so much of my high school experience. BUT this season has been all about changing and growing and I truly

the semi-annual heartwarmer

every time weve drifted ive counted on the coming season to bring us back together. and once again, the season has come and gone, weve spent mornings being irritable in the car, stayed after practice to excavate the dynamics of who and what and team dysfunction, weve been honest, weve been confrontational, weve been productive, weve been sincere. i think this season has been the culmination of the personal growth that softball inspires in me, and i think for you too as well. maybe youve watched a little less tv (though i doubt it), maybe ive been less self-destructive, im sure weve both calmed down a lot. i still trust you unwaveringly as a player, but as a friend as well. i dont think ive ever mentioned it but ive never played a single game in the last 2 years that an ump hasnt said to me "wow...your short stop is amazing." i still dont feel like its over. though our friendship fluxuates according to softball, its solid. i love being with you. you have no idea how much time i spend talking about you. i trust you michelle, and i love

you never cease to amaze me. you truly are an amazing person and i can not even begin to express those feelings. it is true that our friendships seem to fluxuate with the season, they've come in intervals and stronger than some. but this year has been different, i feel it. i've opened up, as suprising as that sounds, and you've let me do that. morning after morning, as irritable and moody as i may be, i couldn't imagine not having you next to me, changing my music and my much needed scoop. the moods that you put up with and your ablity to calm me, listen, and soothe me, yet always in the ring. i think that i will never be able to express myself in the eloquent way that you always seem to but know that my feelings are sincere, i feel that if anything you have learned that much about me. as much as i care about the game, i care about you and the rest of the team so much more. this season has been the culmination of personal growth, i feel as if i have grown and changed not only as a player but in someways as a person too.

i'm not sure how much i can bear to write, cuz i still dont' want to accept that it's over. i'm not really sure how many times i saw a ball hit past me during a game only to think "oh no prob, michelle's got that easy." hell i remember rec, whne you and leah were on the other wootton team, and then the next year you joined us and i was SOOO thankful cuz you guys both kicked so much ass. this year wasn't quite what i expected but you know, i got close to you again. i don't wanna let that go.

no seasonal friendships here.
we have plenty of crying in softball.
i'll miss it.

i can't bear to think it's over either. and surely as sad as i am now, the sappiness and tears will truly flow at banquet. it's been a great year and it's been great. love it all...miss it all..
