The Last First Practice

Last weekend was my last first Special Olympics swim practice of the season with Robb, and I still can't believe it is my last year. I started swimming with Robb six years ago, and it has remained a constant for me throughout middle and high school. No matter what is going on, I can count on Robb making me laugh by stopping in the middle of a lap to sign swing, swim, ahhh or pretending to touch the ground with his feet (even as I yell "feet up") just to get a rise out of me. It was in SO that I really felt like Robb and I could just be “normal” siblings, laughing and messing with each other lap after lap. It’s little things like that that I know will be the hardest for me to be away from in college, and so for now I am trying to make the most of my last season with Robb and enjoying every second!
