Dreams

I love my daughter..

I hope she knows that. I am so proud of her. She's been an amazing daughter and she continues to make me proud.

Sometimes, I think the greatest fear is that someday, I will be gone, and she won't remember how I feel about her. I know I don't always tell her how I feel. Maybe someday, she will read this blog and know that there wasn't a moment, day, time, eon that went by that I haven't thought of her...even when I forgot to pick her up at school...It wasn't that I forgot about her, it was that I forgot that she got out early or something like that......

She's going off to college soon. She got accepted to Cal Poly SLO. At least it is in California. I have always encouraged her to do the things that I never did...dream big and hopefully she's going to achieve it. NO matter what she does or career she chooses...I know I will be proud if she's happy with her dreams.

Poly Cultural Weekend!

Tori's visit to POLY (CAL POLY) Cultural Weekend...

Her first college experience!

She got to spend a weekend at Cal Poly, stayed in the dorm, and got to explore the campus!

She met new people, friends and future students, of all cultures!

Go MUSTANGS!

Jersey Girl

Wilson's Basketball banquet was on Wed March 31, and we had a great time! This was by far the best awards dinner we've ever had!

We decided to ask for donations for drawings to help raise money for the program, and one of the donations came from the LA SPARKS!

Aminah Mills, who represents the Sparks, came and presented the jersy of DeLisha Milton Jones, (power forward) for the Sparks!

Tori won the drawing!

What a great day!

Game of her life!

Senior Night was February 11, and it became a very special night for Tori. She got to play in her first game. Even though it was the last home game of the season, and they were playing Lakewood, Tori got to play. Wilson beat their team last time they played, and at the last 4 minutes of the game, Byron put Tori in...

Tori told me at the beginning of the season, that she didn't want to play. She said she didn't care. I kept telling her that even if she got to play for 1 minute, to go in and make her debut. So....she ran in, to a cheering crowd. It was wonderful that everyone was cheering for her. She played her defense, and I could tell she was holding back. She was scared, and her knee was sore.

But, She played her best defense that she could, and then as they ran down on offense, she was tossed the ball. She poised, and I cringed....she shot...and it went SWOOSH! She shot a 3 pointer! The crowd went CRAZY! Everyone was cheering! It was awesome!

Now..doesn't that sound like a dream that you wish you could play over and over because the reality was that it was a dream, and the reality was, that you missed the shot?

This was reality...and it was Tori's. I am so proud of her...she came off the court at the end of the game, and afterwards, she told me, that she was so glad she got to play...

HUGS!
