Well, not really a favorite, but such a moment filled with so much emotion and love. My cp's team didn't make it through to day two. After years of cheering, I know when a routine doesn't go the way it was planned, my cp likes to go off alone for a bit. No talking to her, just have to wait it out while she works it out in her mind, then she'll text and say "Where are you?" This time, I was outside of the Milkhouse and saw her walk out after, by herself of course. Mascara everywhere and a false eyelash dangling off her left eye! When she saw me, I just stood, waiting to see if she was ready to talk about it. I was still okay at this point, composed, no tears, just thinking what positive thing I could possibly say at this heartbreaking moment. She came running with her arms out (in my mind, I saw her as my 5 year old little girl running toward me). We both hugged for what seemed like hours. AND then, I lost it...I bursted out crying like a baby. Only words that came out were "I'm sorry baby, I love you and I'll never let you go". She eventually moved on to meet her team, I had to go to a corner alone and cry until I was done getting it out. Being sixteen now, she hasn't hugged me that tight and for so long in forever! My heart literally almost burst with emotion. A little blessing of mother/daughter love on a sad day for her and the team.
Sorry for rambling.
Congratulations to every team out there who competed! It was quite an honor to see so many talented athletes and teams all in one weekend.
