Addy had an overall great swim meet tonight. She took second place in the 100 meter breast stroke and fourth place in the 50 meter butterfly stroke. She swam last in the final relay and managed to catch her team up and went on to take second place. We are so proud of her. She hates to do the butterfly stroke (who doesn't?) and she had to swim it tonight. In the end she was dead last and while the other swimmers had already finished, Addy was still in the middle of the pool. She knew that all eyes were on the "poor last place swimmer" but she gave it her all and finished with her pride intact. She never gave up. She could have swam to the side and gotten out, but she went all the way. As I stood watching her I felt so proud of her determination. Sometimes I wonder if it's possible to love her even more then I already do. She's an amazing young woman.
