Olympic Sadness

When I was posting earlier I completely forgot to say that I've been thinking so much today about Nodar Kumaritashvili, the athelete who was killed. On the news they showed his little town and his father and my heart is so heavy with thoughts of them. What should have been a triumph instead is a tragedy. As a parent, I cannot imagine their pain and am tossing up little prayers for his family and friends. For them to find the strength and peace that they need. For the memories of him and knowing his joy in getting to the peak of his sport to overcome the grief soon.
