32 hours Part Ten: Elevator Tears



This entry is one of many detailing what occurred in a few short hours.  Get your popcorn ready.

We shut the place down.  We were the last family walking out of the door.  We had been there so long I was a bit disoriented, but Naysia quickly found the elevator.  

She wanted to carry all that she acquired.  With award, check and flowers in hand, she stepped into the elevator and I followed.  

Before the doors could close, tears began to well up in my eyes, and soon fell softly down my cheeks.  
I have been brought to tears before by one accomplishment or another, but this was on a level that I have never known.  I am blessed to have her in my life.  I am honored to be by her side during this incredible journey.  Her passion astonishes me.

I looked at her with amazement, love and pride.  She looked at me and said, "What's wrong with you??!!!!!"

"Naysia I am just so proud of you.  This is one of the best nights of our life."

We got off of the elevator, took a couple of pictures in front of the building and made our way back to the car, back to the hotel, back to Tucson.
