When she was selected to receive the "Sportsmanship Award" for the entire league last year--five recreational teams-- Peg and I felt the same way. We were proud of her for being the solid and strong girl she is, regardless of how many races she had won.
I wept when she got the award. Partly because I'm so proud of her and partly because it's another event of so many that Peg won't be there for.

Tomorrow night is her first date (although she claims it's not a date because there will be a group and they're taking a limousine). A boy from her physics class invited her to the Bella Vista Senior Ball about two weeks before Peg passed.
She was painting her fingernails this afternoon for tonight's swim banquet. Said she wasn't going to paint her toenails until the last of the paint Peg had put on a month ago had completely chipped away. Sad, and sweet.
