Getting Kicked off the Cheerleading Team

Isn't it silly how sometimes we let things from our past bother us. One day in Jr High, I was 12 and walking to a Cheerleading meet or practice. My mom had just put together my new outfit for the new season. I walked to practice and they told me I was no longer on the team. No one told me why. My guess is their parents were more affluent financially. I ran away crying and did not fight back. I had a lot going on, a sister in a comma. My parents in Memphis all the time, My sister Brenda Sue was beautiful, she won a lot of beauty competitions, but more important she was nice inside. She was in an accident. 4 people died including 3, 17 tear old boys. They were driving drunk and ran into her car, which had her and her 2 year old daughter and my brother in law inside. She was getting her passport to go meet her husband in Germany who was in the ariforce. My mom brought my sister home to the house to take care of her. Not one of my so called friends wanted to come to my house. In retrospect, I have a lot of admiration for my mom, taking that on the role of caretaker.

I was really into literature anyway and part of something they called Beta Club for people with a certain GPA. The girls that got me kicked off the team, wanted me to help with their homework. I don't think one of them said how is your sister doing. They were the epitome of the movie, mean girls. Unfortunately Brenda Sue was in a coma for 20 years. I had no parents and a very angry 16 year old sister left to take care of us. So Brenda Sue did not make it, but I Love her and miss her every day. She was a beautiful person. I am sure she is in Heaven. So I think we have to make every day count because we don't know what tomorrow will bring. I can tell you a lot of nice people came into our lives. Dr Webster a chiropractor, gave my family adjustments at no charge, thinking it would help Brenda Sue. So I guess when tragedy strikes, we find out who our friends are. There are good people and unfortunately and fortunately this is my life. Lets make it count, before today becomes tomorrow.
