Tonight I enjoyed some high school varsity basketball, supporting the Burton Blue Angels. As I watched them play with passion and heart, it hit me rather hard how much I miss Alexandria. So let me indulge in a bit of Facebook therapy and share tonights top five things I miss about #24. 5. I miss Alexa asking me to help her with your ankle braces and lacing up her basketball shoes. I felt needed, like an athletic trainer. 4. I miss bringing snacks to the team like a soccer mom on steroids. I felt appreciated by her teammates and her. 3. I miss prepping Alexas ice baths and sneaking pickle juice into her gatorade. I felt like I had a part in her game day physical preparation and recovery. 2. I miss helping her with her free throws. I felt like her skills coach and was so proud of her improvement. 1. I miss the drive home after away games, reviewing her performance and team leadership. Also I miss getting her late night fast food which she would devour like an All-American linebacker. I felt like so proud of Alexas knowledge of the game and her desire to improve. A while back Alexa wrote up a post of lessons she learned on the basketball court. Little did she know I was learning to, loving the time we had together. And so Im grateful for the basketball seasons we got to spend together, learning, cheering, supporting, and growing in a game we both love so much. Im excited for this years Varsity Lady Angels and have no doubt they will learn so much along they way. I hope their journey is as rich as mine has been with #24.
