Lucy
Sitting in the bleachers, I watch my best friend swim her last lap in the Paralympics tryouts. She's closing in on third place. Tyce is on one side of me and Kaylee on the other. As Morgan gains on her opponent, we all jump up to cheer her on. Below us Morgan's parents, alongside Tyce's mom and my Mom, are also jumping and yelling like crazy.
Morgan reaches the finish line. She's only seconds behind the third place winner.
Immediately, she glances at the board to see her placement. Lifting four fingers, she circles her hand above her head and glances to where we're all sitting. Her grin is huge. I give a thumbs up sign, Kaylee does a happy dance, and Tyce blows her a kiss. Leaning over he says to me, "I'm going to spend my life making that woman as happy as she makes me."
