~:[CH14 - Day 296]:~ Tears in the Eye

Life is emotional. There are a lot of different emotions and reasons to express them, but tonight, there was a bit of happiness and sadness that counteracted each other, living us with an evening that was bittersweet. The last competition for someone in an organization is tough. As the girls realized it was their last game, the sadness was evident, still yet, you wonder if it countered the happiness that was express by the team throughout the match. Despite the rough starts, down 8-16 in the second, the girls excelled in the second half. They nearly took the second set and had it not been for a controversial call, they may have been able to pull it out. They rolled through game three and nearly mounted another comeback in round four, but ended up falling a bit short. As the tears filled the eyes of many of the players, I slowly made my way out of the gym, as watching that emotion is a bit tough. It's hard not to get teary-eyed, however, it was easy to applaud them for their efforts as they mounted a few charges to keep them in it. In the end, those tears they shed demonstrate the love and passion they have for the sport and/or their team. Sadly, today was the end of the road for the volleyball team, however, there's no doubt in my mind that they will be gathering together, sometimes down the line in the future remember these many moments they shared including the moments they comforted each other as the tears rolled down their face.
