I left Florida on Thursday, the 11th, and flew to Las Vegas. Donna picked me up there and we spent the night with her son, Matt. Yesterday we shopped in Las Vegas before heading to Kingman, AZ. As we approached Kingman, we found out that it had been snowing there! I had to take this picture for my Kaylee. Someday, Kaylee, you WILL see it for yourself! I promise!
Last year at this time we knew that mom had the VRE infection again, she had started refusing dialysis, and Donna had told me I had better get back. It was a year ago today that I watched Carissa play her last basketball game, before flying out the next day. I do not think there has ever been a time when I was more proud of Carissa. She finished STRONG, making 22 points during that game and making 5-3pt shots. More than that, I can honestly tell you that during those four years I never saw Carissa display the typical attitude or anger over her sport. She always represented her Lord well, as well as our family, and herself. I have missed the ball games this year, and I know it will never be the same without being able to watch my own child on the court!
