Time is a thief. It seems like yesterday my daughter was playing T-Ball, now she's almost done in College. It goes by so fast!

My advice to any parent watching travel games or high school is to just sit back and enjoy watching. Enjoy the girls and the parents Accept them for who they are.

Pretty soon there will be no more games for your daughter. Take pictures, lots and lots of pictures.

And take lots of pictures. It goes by in an instant.

It's fun to look at them years after your daughter has finished playing and moves on to the next chapters of her life. The memories will be as fresh as the day they happened. The good, the bad, the mundane and everything in between. You only get one shot at it. Make sure you save them for her as well as yourself. Your daughter may think you're being a pest at the time but she'll thank you years later.

As the parent of one who stopped playing at the end of HS, I wish I had more pictures from back in the day.

You are all so right!!! I have yearly albums for my kids from the events of every year of their lives; thousands of pictures!! Separate "picture books" as I called them for their athletic careers! It was a hobby for me; my daughter is 23 and she LOVES going through those albums: the things she can't remember because she was so little, pictures with grandparents and loved ones who have left us, so many memories!!!! My son does not appreciate them as much as my daughter, but I think he will one day. A favorite musician of mine, before he passed, said about life: "Enjoy every sandwich"....I think my wife and I have. Hopefully we have many more. For those of you still on the ride enjoy and appreciate!!!
