Dear Aaron & Cameron

7th grade Decatur Meet

Dear Aaron & Cameron..

I blew up my face book page yesterday with post and pictures.. 
Hopefully no one defriended me.

Still sitting here in awe of what you BOTH have accomplished over the years..

Since 7^th grade you both have been doing this. Many times you wanted to quit. And I admit some days I thought about letting you. But, I just knew that I had to make yall stick with it.

That you both would benefit from it. The last 4 years yall have actually enjoyed running. I have watched yall make great relationships with your team.

Watched yall become leaders, and encourage your team with pep talks and prayer.

How you lead the team in prayer before each meet

We have watched you both run in the freezing cold to the sweltering hot,. Watched yall beat your personal best. And have watched you both not make it to the next level.

I have cried for you and with you, when I knew how devastated yall were last year. But again there was no quitting.

But, this year.. You both have peaked into a new level of talent. Yall have helped lead your cross country team to victory after victory.

 I have watched yall cheer your team on to push thru. Watched your team mates give it their all for “ The Seniors” this year. To see the respect and recognition you are getting from all over Boyd because of how well you are both doing.

I admit, I was so nervous for you both yesterday at District. I knew you both could do it, but when I saw the nervousness. When I heard the doubt in your voice. When Aaron walked up and hugged me and said “Well this is it momma”.. I shed a few tears.. I wanted to make it all better, wanted to ease your fears and nerves.

But I just continued to reassure you that yall already had us so proud as parents. That this is what you have worked hard for.  I said a quick prayer for you to have peace.. And I ran (yes actually ran) and cheered you on..

AND You Both did it!

You Both placed in the top ten to qualify for Regionals, AND you helped your team become District Champs!

You helped make history for Boyd.

We are so dang proud..

You are both my Heroes.

I love to watch yall run.

And gosh I am gonna miss yall.

Now on to Regionals we go!!
