Last evening was the very final track meet ever for Robert. I had planned to attend, but it was raining and I wasn't feeling great so I decided to stay home. The price of gas soaring also made it less appealing to make the trip.
Robert made it home a little before 11:00 last night. Because we are down to two vehicles, I had to pick him up. I could tell he was tired, and even more, I know he was disappointed. We are a school, that due to the number of students, competes in Division I. Unfortunately, we have at best, Division II athletes. Robert ran on three relays, and they came in last in each and every one of them. I hate that not only his season, but his entire track career has to end that way.
One of the nice things about track was Robert's willingness to run in any event where they placed him. His coach wrote a nice note that he was very grateful for that. I am grateful for the three seasons of track that I was able to enjoy with Robert.
