things aren't the same

My husband is the tennis coach at the high school we both work at and I help by driving the girls to the tennis matches. Today was the first match of the season and boy did it make me miss our daughter even more. Usually she would be done with her match before I had the chance to get out there and I would have to ask her to slow things down so I could watch a few points of her match. Well, today, she wasn't there to watch. The other team was excited that she wasn't there and won the #1 singles match easily. It made me miss her so much to look out and see all of these other girls playing and remember being excited to get to watch her play.
