the simple joys 💐 taken in Heaven on Earth by @kielee09

I don’t even have the words to describe how life feels right now. It feels like a piece of me is missing.

I walked out of the gym thinking I’d be back next season, never realizing I’d never wear that jersey again. If I had known that last year would be the last time I’d ever put on a Panther jersey, I would’ve held onto every practice, every game, every bus ride, every laugh, every loss, every hug after the final whistle, and every second just a little longer.

We weren’t the team with all the trophies. We were the team with the biggest hearts. I’d choose every loss, every early morning, every hard practice, and every memory with my people a thousand times over if it meant I could be a Panther one more time.

The hardest part isn’t that we weren’t a winning team. The hardest part is knowing I’ll never get the chance to finish what I started.

I’ll never get to play one last game in the gym that raised me.
I’ll never get to hear my name called on Senior Night in the gym that became my second home.
I’ll never get to wear a Panther jersey one last time.
I’ll never get to say goodbye.

I’ll never get to stand hand in hand with my teammates and say one last Hail Mary before the game. I never imagined that prayer would already have been our last.

It’s a different kind of heartbreak grieving something that still feels like it should be there. I miss my home. I miss my teammates. I miss the place that shaped me into who I am.

A part of me will always be standing in that locker room, wearing black and white, surrounded by the people who made it feel like home.

The hardest goodbyes are the ones you never knew you were saying.

I’ll spend the rest of my life missing a place that no longer exists.

Thank you for every memory. Thank you for every lesson. Thank you for giving me a home. Thank you St.Mary’s athletics.

Lord, I don’t understand why this chapter had to end, but I trust You’ll write the next one. 🤍 taken in The Panther Pit by @kielee09
