April 2009, flash forward to nationals

Well, I was pleased to get asked to officiate once again at the nationals for 2009 in Charlottetown. I hadn't put any thought towards u19's since the fall, and just wanted to have another good nationals. This was going to be a different event, as they had 10 of us doing just NRL games and the rest of the crew doing the Belle and Junior divisions. I am still working on having the same level of confidence at this division (more psychological than anything), so my goal was to have a good week. Well on Tuesday, after reffing 2 games, I got a call, Sharron had been taken to the hospital by ambulance with breathing difficulty. I was on the first flight out of PEI (which wasn't for 15 hours) but the week was over just as it started, as my attention had to be somewhere more important. There was always next year.
