So disappointing
Catherine didn't make the basketball team. I am so heartbroken for my daughter. I was taking Robert to scouts in our former hometown, so Andrew picked her up. The coaches had told her that each girl would receive an envelope with a letter telling them whether or not they made the team. I was home when they got home, sitting at my computer desk, and I could tell by the way she came through the door, even though I couldn't see her face, that it wasn't the news we wanted. Andrew followed and just shook his head. I went to her and just gave her a big hug for a long time and told her how proud I was of her for trying out and doing the best she could. Andrew joined us for a group hug, and it just broke my heart how her tears fell. There is a chance that she might still be able to play rec basketball, but they aren't sure yet if they will have enough girls participate. We are signing her up, and we'll see what happens. I know how badly she wanted this, and I really wanted it for her. I am really hoping that we can find something that is her niche!
