Senior Night tonight for my daughter's varsity girls hockey team. In addition to the normal festivites/ceremony, the coach is surprising the girls by having a parent or parent representative (former coach, grandparents, etc.) for each senior come into the locker room to have them tie their girl's skates "one last time" like we did when we they were younger.
How the heck am I supposed to do that without bawling like a baby, coach?
Any tips on how to get through a daughter's senior night without embarrassing myself? I did well at my son's a few years ago, but this one is going to be hard.
hug her and cry and be proud about it and know that it is aok bromigo thats your baby and its her senior night aint no shame in loving your girl take that to the bank brohan
I held it together pretty good. She, on the other hand, was a mess. As soon as the coach told them he had a surprise for them and she saw me walk in the locker room to tie her skates she lost it, full-on crying. I teared up a bit myself, but kept it together.
Then on the ice for the ceremony she was bawling again. She played great though, team got the win..a great night all around.
Now we get to go to Lake Placid for a tournament with her travel team this weekend, where a good buddy of mine and his son are coming up to watch and visit the town for the first time, and the following weekend will be Senior Night for her travel team. Fully enjoying this last ride before she heads off to play NCAA D3 hockey in the Fall.
