I was thinking of this for a few weeks. The end is near. DD's last time she will play softball will be this weekend tournament. She had her last team practice last night. It was kind of odd because it didn't feel like the last of anything. Even during the hr drive back home.
DD started playing softball like many here at the age of 5. She didn't get into travel until 10U and immediately fell in love with the whole thing. Early on she did think about playing Varsity on her HS team and maybe play in college. But in the last couple years she has changed her mind about all that. About a lot of things. She's involved in FHA. She does track instead of playing softball for her school. She plans on going to college but not play softball at the same time. Hopes to join the Navy one day too.
She had one of the best years this year. Funny thing, one of her best years was her first! Odd how that happened. She's had her ups and downs though. Some great coaches and some not so. This year's coach has had her playing just about all positions but pitching and 1st base. She's the #2 catcher, but will fill in at 3rd. Occasionally OF. And when some girls are injured or can't show up for a tournament she's at 2nd or SS.
She's been a lot of fun to watch. We've had some great conversations driving to and from practice and tournaments. I'll miss those drives the most.
Well, I really enjoyed my time here at DFP. So many folks that were helpful with a lot of things. A lot of funny folks too!
