Winter Olympics

I love the Olympics. There is always incredible human drama. Tonight was no exception. Alexandre Bilodeau won the first ever Gold Medal on Canadian home soil. The elated eruption when it was clear he won gold was palpable. But above and beyond that is the wonderful story of his relationship with his older brother. The whole story has had me in tears of joy for not just their country but the relationship. Alexandre's brother has Cerbral Palsy and is mostly confined to a wheel chair. Alexandre says on the days when it is hard to get up to train he thinks of his brother that is not able to ski. This is his motivation. He calls his brother his best friend. To see the disabled brother celebrate for his new gold medal winning brother was emotional for anyone watching.

Just a really cool story.
