This week's theme/prompt is -HEADS Proud



I am very proud of my daughter Aurora. A couple of months ago her teacher nominated her to be an Olympic torchbearer. She brought home a form that we had to fill out and she had to write a short essay about herself. About a couple of weeks later we heard back from the Olympic committee saying she was selected as a torchbearer. On last Wednesday she carried the Olympic flame in our town. It was a really exciting day where she met the Mayor and had lots of pictures taken of her. Strangers even came up to her and asked for a picture. Aurora we are very proud of you!

Here is a video my sister, Aurora...yes they have the same name, shot of it.

I was watching that and wiping tears off my cheeks. How PROUD you must have been of her! How PROUD she must have been of herself! How PROUD your city must have been to be a part of this.

She had to run? Uphill? I'm PROUD of her for being able to do that.

Psst.. What big butt? =)

I'm so proud of her, too! When I looked at the pictures on Facebook, I got tears in my eyes when her torch was lit. And then again while watching the video. What an amazing, incredible experience. I know she will never forget it - and neither will her proud mom!

Aunt Misty is VERY proud of Rora... not just for this, but for being such a great person. She really deserved to be a part of this.
