she smiled through the pain, all the time. she hardly ever cried, hardly ever complained, even though everyone told her she 100% had the right too.

she worked through the pain, and through the unfairness, and through it all. she was scared, hell, she was terrified, and to top it all off, she was alone, no mommy there for her all the time.

but mostly she was terrified of the possibility of never playing again.

she got frustrated, and sad, and angry, and bitter. and there was little we could do. so all the while we hoped. we prayed. and tried the best we could to be there.

and today, today all her hard work paid off. and i have never been soo happy for her before in my life.

so here is to you my dear. my mini-me kicks some serious ass. and i will always look up to her. seriously. <3

(i would also like to insert a big, i told you so here, but that almost ruins the moment, so i will keep it small. :D)
