DISCLAMIER: I am by
no way saying that he is not guilty. He
may have done this horrendous killing. The story is shocking and sad no matter how
it happened.
How does an overweight, 36 year old, mother of 3 relate to an Olympic
Athlete? This summer, we watched the
Olympics. It was so good to watch Oscar
Pistorius. We talked to the kids about
him. If this guy can qualify for the
Olympics, you can do anything! He is
inspiring. Look what he has overcome.
When I got fitted for
my braces (before his arrest) and I was feeling so bad about my life. Brett reminded me about what we had said to
the kids. I know the situation is
different. But I did think about
it. I can do this. I can do anything.
Then after his arrest, I was watching some news program
laying out the events of the story. In
some interview, they said that he did not have his blades on at the time of the
shooting. And that he felt vulnerable. That has stuck with me. I know how he feels.
Brett starts his travel season soon. I have never liked it when he is gone. I feel alone.
And vulnerable. And now more than ever. I was trying to figure out a way to sleep
with my legs on. I can barely walk without them. I
cannot get up quickly if something were to happen. Sick kid.
Fire. Tornado. Someone breaking
into the house. Maybe I should time
myself and see how quickly I can put them on.
Maybe that would make me feel better.
Maybe…..
