Last night Bill and I were back at Raider Valley watching Walton High beat Lassiter in the second home game of the season. We had just completed a 12 hour car ride where we brought Rachel and two of her UK friends from Lexington, KY to Marietta for the weekend. As a graduated cheerleader, Rachel had the privilege of being out on the field with the current Walton cheer squad to honor Cara.
Still a heartbreaking reality that Cara is gone from this world, but we know that she is with the Lord and that brings us great comfort. She may have tasted an earthly death, but her life did not end in death - it is hidden IN CHRIST!

Being an empty nester is much harder than I expected. Confession: occasional bouts of sadness will overwhelm me, probably because I know a chapter of my life has come to an abrupt close. Every parent realizes that this change is looming before them on the horizon of life, but when it actually happens . . . well, let's just say experience brings with it a fresh dose of revelation!
Last night's game was an emotional time of highs and lows. New chapters in life are always exciting but a little unnerving, especially for type A first-borns such as myself!
Here are some pics from the game last night. I know Cara had a big smile on her face. ☺☺

Lovely words Caroline! And although losing last nights game to Walton, it was so nice to see that the communities of both Lassiter and Walton joined together in honoring Cara Seckman who was part of the Walton Raider Cheerleaders . It only goes to show the character of the young people that have grown up in these communities. So proud of both Lassiter and Walton's young men and women.
