Tears of Joy

I received the sweetest email from a mom yesterday. It seriously brought me to tears. This job can be so stressful and time consuming. You often times definitely put in a lot more of yourself than you ever get out. However, emails like this let me know that I do make a difference. I ran into two gymnasts yesterday that I used to coach. I had them from the time they were 7 until they were 10 and they are now going to be sophmores in high school! They ran right up, gave me the biggest hug and said how I was their favorite coach that they have ever had. I am unfortunately now getting ready to take another child to the doctor since we are away at camp and he needs X-Rays. Sometimes I feel like a mom to these kids, and it makes me realize how much I love children, but how much I love to be able to give them back at this point in my life ;)

Dear Michelle and Sally

I have always felt good about having Hannah at Lakeshore but it wasn't until Sunday night and Monday morning that I felt amazing and realized the level of compassion and caring you have for each gymnast. When you say this is a family you mean it.

Thank you for being so amazing. Thank you for caring so much about Hannah. She and I both adore you.

Sincerely
