Swim Meet, Family and Coaches

I wanted to make a comment or two about the swim meet from my point of view, behind the lens. And this is not just from this swim meet but all that I've attended. First I want to commend Soren on commitment and dedication to her sport. Soren you have honored your mother and father by giving your BEST in both practice and competition. What a fine example you are to your cousins and friends.

Second I commend Pete and Sara for your dedication and sacrifice of time and money to support Soren. The money and especially TIME that you invest in Soren and Reese will surely bless their lives and they will remember it when it comes time for them to do the same. Soren will remember the warmth of a mother's hug between meets and the care of finding food and drinks. The videos, yells and little prays and flow during these meets will never be forgotten.

Finally I want to commend Pete as a mentor, coach and most of all a strong, loving, caring father. One that Soren looked for after each race to receive words of wisdom, instruction and the touch of a firm steadfast hand of love hearing the words "Good Job Soren".
What a wonderful family God has blessed us with. Saturday Soren was represented by 11 family members including Great Grandparents. Thank You Lord for this family.
Thank You for ALL my children, sons-in-laws, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, parents and grandparents!!
And so goes "Family Matters".

Love Ya
Pop's
