Looking Back: Let's Let The Parents Have The Final Word!
I wanted each of you to know how much I have enjoyed getting
to know you this season. I will cherish our times together.
Traveling, cheering, eating, and of course, indulging in
chocolate together was a blast. I hope that our paths will
cross again soon.
~~~~~~
This has been the BEST year of travel volleyball our FAMILY
has ever had!! Not only did our daughter learn, grow and
enjoy... us parents enjoyed being at each activity, weekend,
practice, etc. because each of you were a joy to be around!
We are extremely grateful to have been blessed with this
opportunity of a lifetime - this is what "team" is supposed
to be about! When I speak to other parents about our season,
the only response I ever hear is "WOW, you are SO lucky!"
~~~~~~
In addition to our daughter's improved volleyball
skills--not that important in the overall scheme of
things--she has matured and learned so much from the coaches
and for that my wife and I are grateful to you. Sometimes it
takes a non-parent (adult) to help reinforce or get a
message across.
~~~~~~
Just wanted you all to know that we have really enjoyed our
time with you all--you really are a great group of people.
Our daughter will have memories that will last a lifetime
and life lessons that she may not realize now but she will
definitely use later. It has been exhausting but I am really
sad that it's over and I am really going to miss our
volleyball weekends.
~~~~~~
Oh my goodness, so many moments from this season (ones I am
aware of and ones I am not yet aware of) to carry forward
with in my heart, it truly has been an honor and a pleasure
to have met and shared with all of you.
~~~~~~
Grays: we will miss sweet Sarah but grateful to have gotten
the chance to meet you and won't forget cracker barrel!
Dietzs: loved the stories! Always know I will walk away
smiling after a conversation with the Dietzs.
Cindy P, you truly are the nicest person I have ever met in
my life! Great example of someone who gives her best
and looks for it in others.
Jeannine, a wise woman, love your philosophy on life. What a
giver of yourself. You are one of those people in life that
I feel blessed to have known.
Patty, how do u do it? What sacrifices u make for your
family! We see it, God sees it.
Lee, one of God's gifts to some people is hospitality. You
have it and use it beautifully.
Cindi H, a caring heart, not just for your girl, but for all
of ours. Thanks for encouraging words.
Beth Anne, what a worker bee u are, thanks for all the time
you gave to finding us beds!
Joyces, the really funny thing is-no one in Henry or Patrick
Co. would ever accuse our families of being rednecks!!
Best of all, Hannah had her buddy back - makes it all
worthwhile.

A
Valuable Lesson
"If you fail to look after your teammates, you lose much more
than a few vball matches. But if teammates embrace
each other, then they will gain much more than winning those matches. "
