I was so nervous for her, and so afraid that it would be a redux of Dan Jansen, only with multiple falls. <br /><br />I was thrilled beyond measure to have been dead wrong in that apprehension. <br /><br />One of the things that made it even better to witness that for once, the chattering NBC commentators didn't say even one word during her performance. So we really got to witness the crowd participation, the cheers, the clapping. Everyone was right there with her, on the ice, wishing her well, hoping against hope. <br /><br />It was absolutely lovely. Her mother would have been so very proud, I'm sure. In her mother's stead, the world now takes pride in her :-)Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-75727476549400598322010-02-25T12:17:19.167-08:002010-02-25T12:17:19.167-08:00Jo.. beautiful post about a beautiful girl with a ...Jo.. beautiful post about a beautiful girl with a beautiful spirit!Leilani Tresisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07143465112275442843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-30023699292239896752010-02-25T09:04:59.354-08:002010-02-25T09:04:59.354-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368978712434447398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-54171983849031625522010-02-25T09:04:34.624-08:002010-02-25T09:04:34.624-08:00She looked like a little girl lost out on the ice....She looked like a little girl lost out on the ice.

She awed me, and she makes us all proud regardless of whether or not we are Canadian.
