Since they were little, she’s been there for the bows, the endless practices, the early mornings, the late nights, the hair, the makeup, the uniforms, the drama, the stunts, the technique, the endless Starbucks runs… and all the moments in between.
She’s watched her girl learn to smile, sparkle and shine even when she was tired, nervous or scared. She’s watched her become stronger, braver, more confident and more determined with every season.
Because cheer isn’t just about the smile you see on the sidelines. These girls are athletes. They work for every stunt, every jump, every motion and every routine. They learn to trust the girls beside them, to catch each other when they fall and to keep going when things don’t go as planned.
They are the energy of the crowd, the heartbeat of the sidelines and the backbone of their team through the wins, the losses, the celebrations and the hard days.
And through every single one of those moments, Mom has been there.
She’s driven them to practice. Fixed the bows. Packed the bags. Calmed the nerves. Celebrated the wins. Dried the tears. And somehow always knew when they needed a little reminder that they could do hard things.
Now they’re seniors, and Mom gets to stand beside the girl she’s watched grow from a little cheerleader into an incredible young woman.
The bows may be bigger. The stunts may be higher. The routines may be harder.
But to Mom?
She’ll always see the little girl who first put on that uniform and cheered her heart out.
