Sorry to hear she didn't make it to states, but I have to say I am so impressed by her attitude! It's such a big thing to learn how to get over disappointment and still be happy for others and unfortunately our gymmies have to learn at such a young age.
You and your dd have such a positive outlook....we can all learn from the two of you. Thank you for sharing your story!! Her positive attitude will get her so far in the tough world.
