This past week has been great, and emotional. Late Thursday night, Point Loma began pool play for the NAIA tournament. They beat Ottowa Thursday, and then beat MidAmerica on Saturday. Their final season came to an end on Monday against Shorter. I told myself I wasn't going to cry... that didn't last very long. The most awesome part of that day ( actually the whole week ) was when they asked me to come to their last huddle & gave me the signed jersey. I love it ! Then, I was asked to give a speech. Well, 1) I was not prepared to give a speech so I had no idea what I was going to say and 2) I was crying, so they probably didn't even understand me. But I do want to point out that I wasn't crying because I was disappointed, at all. They did great, and are still #1 to me. They are all awesome softball players and people. I'm glad that I got to spend more time with them before they left, too. They invited me to lunch, and I loved listening to the funny stories they told about the season. Then we went out and watched some games before they left. I was absolutely dreading 3:30, I didn't want them to go. But the time came, and after saying bye, they all left. I couldn't even stick around the ball fields after that, I had to leave. I am sad that they won't be back next year, I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'll leave that for then & not worry about it now. I'm absolutely, 100% proud of this team. They are wonderful, and are so close. They are the exact definition of a team. The dictionary needs to say "team-(n) Point Loma Nazarene University softball team. " Lastly, I would just like to thank them for everything they have done, for making me feel special to them. Especially when they scream " RAAACHEEELL! " every time they see me, no matter where we are. I want to also thank all of the parents, they are so sweet ! I'm going to miss every single one of them, a lot. Thank goodness for Facebook, so we can keep in touch ! haha.
