All the video clips from Alicia's Memorial are completed and posted on YouTube (ASL92dad). Posted are clips from the Tributes by Chuck, Patchen, Allison and Sarah, Craig, Lauren, Cathie, and Jim. Also we have the memories shared by friends and family separate from the Memorial service. Here is a link to David's beautiful ballad.
I have not been able to bring myself to watch a few of the clips. While they are definitely wonderful and heartfelt, it was hard enough to sit through them the 1st time. I am not prepared to relive the emotions yet. I am sure I will watch them... later.
Lately I have been a little off kilter. Alicia's friends and classmates are preparing for college. Some have already started. She was so looking forward to graduating and moving on to college. I had shared with her my college experiences in hopes she did not fall into the same mistakes but also positive experiences to consider. Cathie and I were looking forward to see just how much she would have attained in the college environment.
Also, I am prepping for the Fall HS Volleyball season. When Alicia died in March, I told the NCVA that for the rest of club season, I was done officiating. I had gotten into officiating wanting to learn more about volleyball rules. At the beginning of this year, Alicia and I would talk about the rules and situations I saw while officiating. We had fun discussing them. For this Fall, I am unsure what is motivating me to continue officiating. Is it just giving back to the volleyball community at large? I'll have another decision to make about Club season later.
