Sometimes you have to leave someone you love to see someone you love. We met and spent time with so many wonderful people including the Stacks, Chus, Engstroms, Johnsons, Bellamys, and of course the Granato family (USA hockey). I met Picabo Street (Olympic skiier who ran the torch up the stairs with Cammi in Opening ceremonies at Salt Lake City games) and even snuggled cheek to cheek with her 7 month old son Dex, a real sweetie!
We met bobsledders, trainers, swimmers, figure-skaters, aerial ski jumpers, coaches, security guards, bus drivers, chauffeurs, and nannies! Everyone had the Olympic spirit! More than anything, I will greatly miss my sister, Cammi, and her beautiful boys Riley and Reese. They may be little, but they really rallied around their working Mommy, leaving us laughing and loving at the end of each day. You are all my gold medal champs! It was an honor to be with you.
Long after these serendipitous games are over, I will remember these athletes and their families, and their shining examples of life and love, friendship, humanity, strength, frailty, and hope. May their spirit live on in all of us. Whatever you do, take time to celebrate your own accomplishments-no matter how great or small. I can't wait for Scoshi 2012! CHEERS!
