It’s been 9 days since I’ve seen my girls ... I’ve been feeling weird emotions being away from them... a little bit more anxious, a little bit more sad, heart hurting, and tears shed this week & it has only been 9 days. • Not sure if it’s been this pandemic and rarely being away from them, or knowing this was a dress rehearsal for what’s to come ... once mid March hits, there is a good chance I cannot come home until after the Olympic Games. 4 1/2 months of being away from HOME, my LIFE & MY PEOPLE. • My family will come and visit, and see me, but it won’t be the same... I’m not sure I’ve dreaded something & looked forward to something so much in MY LIFE. • I know sacrifices MUST be made during a pandemic, and I get it, but it doesn’t mean my heart won’t ache like it never has before. • Being a mother in professional sports IS NOT GLAMOROUS... more tears shed these last 2 years then in my whole life possible.... I owe it to the game to go as hard as I can until this thing is done....
