She tried so hard & was SOOO excited!
(the tears are welling up just thinking about her disappointment).
BUT……in the midst of this trial for her…..my mama’s heart nearly filled to bursting with pride!
Do you know what she did?
One of her friends came bounding up to me

May we all learn that lesson-to rejoice with those who rejoice! (Romans 12:15)
(Do you think I told her how proud of her we were???? YOU BET I DID!!! & so did Dave….)

Ana ~ that is one beutiful race car! Great work girl!
Love, Your Grammie's friend Pam
Congrats to Ana. She sounds like a winner to me! :)
This is Ana! It was hard work. I had LOTS of fun! I love my car.
Love, Ana
I remember those days. I cried over every car I made because I couldn't get it "perfect."
And you've got it right, Ana, your experience and the final car is worth more than any trophy. I still have all the cars I made, but I haven't bothered to keep my trophies. Your sportsmanship and the effort you put into your car is far, far more important.
Congratulations!

What a great job Ana did with her car and being so gracious and caring to her friend. No wonder you were so proud of her!
Hope you're feeling better too!

Ana, I'm so proud of you!! I love your car and am thrilled you could make one and get to race it. I would have really enjoyed a project like that when I was your age.
That is the attitude to have, well done. One very special little girl. And I, for one, am amazed that sheis so young and made that car. So Clever.
