I am so proud of you. This is the third time in 10 minutes that I have tried to send this message and I don't mind telling you I'm getting a little frustrate. I have blogged you every day and was mortified to see that none of my blogs ever were posted. Evidently I am not a computer genius. I have watched your progress every day, looked at the pictures and tried to find the locations so that I had an idea of where you were. I have held a prayer in my heart every second for your safety and hoped that you would be comforted by the beauty that surrounded you. Hunter from Americore and Jay who owns a company in Chesterfield, have watched you for me when I was not near a computer. If you have seen the news lately, you know that for the last 13 days, we have been in flood waters, 37 ft above river level. The whole town is sand bagged {10 ft high in lots of places,} and so is our little white house. I have been cooking over 1000 meals a day for inmates, the army and air force national guards, Americore, and anyone displaced by the flood.
I start alone at 6am and work until 6pm. I am tired too, but cannot even begin to understand how tired you must have been at the end of every day. I don't mind telling you that I was relieved when you waited for Matt. It took great courage to ride so far for so long all alone. I know you wanted to finish the race. It took courage to begin and even more courage to stop. You have always made the right decisions. I thank Matt for making this adventure with you and wish you could have finished together. After your blog yesterday, all of the guys here hoped you'd stop so that you could ride another race. You are a wonderment to me and as the song says "and who you have grown to be." Cupcake is an unlikely name for the brave lion of the pride. I am so proud of you,racing or not racing. Thank you for taking us all on this adventure with you.
I love you so much Mom
