Friday night Josh and I as well as my family went to Viola to watch Heather play basketball. This was their "Senior Night" as well as the last regular season home game. We were going to root on the Longhorns!
Kate and Heather last Tuesday played in the snow...Heather got hot and then cold...and Wednesday morning woke up with pneumonia. She has had to take several breathing treatments and has received several shots as well. She was been miserable.
She was determined to play her heart out though during this game. They were playing a rival, Mammoth Spring Bears. She told us that she was going to play regardless of how she felt...kind of silly I know. She is such a "go getter" and tough girl! She got to play quite a bit, considering her health situation. The coach would pull her out and she would sitting...her back would be pounding. She was struggling for each breath she took. I was really worried. The Longhorn's won the game! I was real happy for the girls! Heather said she felt really tired and weak afterwards!
After the game the senior girl basketball players, senior boys basketball players, and senior band members and their parents were recognized. This was a very emotional time for Heather. She mother passed away when she was young in a car accident, and her father has never been a part of her life. She was taken in by a Viola family and lived with them for quite some time this past summer she left them and joined another Viola family. She is extremely happy where she is now. I am also happy for her. This was epically an emotional time for Heather, being recognized with the Burden family and them announcing her mother. There was not one dry eye in the place. We LOVE Heather and would do anything on this planet for her! I really hope one day soon she becomes a part of our family.
