Yes, and I am actually the #1 qualifier, having taken first place in two of the three qualifying events!
Everyone in the Final 8 got a T-Shirt that says "National FInalist" -- except that mine says "National Champion"!! It's more than a little bit surreal!
On a serious note: Working toward this helped me pull out of the feelings of doom and death and endings that plagued me for a long time after Teresa died, so this is actually very much about her. She always called me "The Smart One" which was obviously a bunch of horse pucky. I was simply "The Healthy One," but I can take the thing I have that she didn't, and do something with it.

I cannot tell you how pleased I am for her.
This has been her dream for a long time now.
My understanding is that now she gets to be on the team that goes to Moscow this fall!

My LJ entries are usually Friends-locked, but if my mommy's friends want in, just ask! Here's a link to what my coach wrote: http://www.riversidefencingclub.com/diannawinsv50we2009nationaltitle

I cannot even begin to tell you how joyful this makes me!
The best revenge on death is to LIVE your own life for all you are worth.
