Last night was a great night.  Casey got the okay to go to the LAC banquet.  Everyone was understanding and kept their distance.  The graduating senior boys blew Casey kisses.  They also had a slide show with photos of the boys shaving and flexing in their speedos.  Hmmmm.  I am sure those boys will be missed next year when they are off at college. When Nancy acknowledged Casey to everyone, they all stood up and were applauding him.  I cried.  I am such a flake.  Casey, Stevie and the whole coaching staff gave their awards presentation. At the end of the presentation Stevie tried to say thank you to everyone, but she cried.  I guess she inherited my flakiness.  But in all honesty, I feel as though the look on her face said it all.  There is no way to put into words the debt of gratitude we feel toward everyone.  Kasey Mann, for getting together the swim for Casey, everyone who showed up in support, the many cards, blog responses, just to mention a few things.  But most of all, knowing there are many shoulders out there to carry us through this ordeal.
