Tessa is such an amazing little girl and we are so proud of all her accomplishments. She has worked so hard and has achieved things we never thought were possible. She is a fighter and the strongest kid I know. She is so excited to make it to her Kindergarten graduation on Friday, she is happy to be home this weekend with family and friends, and very excited to be in the parade on Monday morning!
She has been talking to us the past few days about going to her dance recital, she has been really sad because she was saying how she misses dance so much and just wants to be on stage again, many tears have been shed over this topic. She is so upset she didn’t make it to her last competition and she talks about it that often with us. It breaks our heart..We told her whatever choice she makes on being at the recital, we would support 100% We understand its going to be hard for her to watch her dances that she was suppose to be in and for her not to be up on stage doing what she truly loves and was “born to do”(she always says that) … Today when I got to the hospital she looked at me and said “Mom I decided I want to be at the recital. There is always next year for me to get back on stage and right now I want to see all my friends and support them.” I just looked at her in complete awe. She is so mature for her age, so caring and so positive about everything that has happened to her. I cant help but cry knowing this is going to be incredibly hard for her, but knowing in her heart she truly wants to be there for her dance family
