Gosh I feel for you. Just driving home with a team mate who has won lots when my kid has had a bad meet is really tough. One wants to celebrate (and rightly so) and the other one is just devastated. Three of them, living together and so close. I feel so sorry for the three of them, and you.
I guess as this is the way life is, they will just all have to use it as a life lesson in compassion. As I often remind my kidlets, life is just not fair and never will be.
Hopefully Hannah has a chance to shine at another meet, I know my oldest had a train wreck of a year once, every meet was awful and she could not get herself together. I was surprised that she didn't quit, but she perservered and got through it. If it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger.
