Whether or not you have been following the Olympics, you may have heard about Alex Bilodeau, the Canadian who has now won two gold medals. However, the fact that he took home his second gold medal of his career isn't the only thing making headline news. The other story, the one that touches our hearts, is the story about his love for his older brother, Frederic, who has cerebral palsy.
On this Valentine's Day, let us remember that sometimes the greatest love story has nothing to do with romance, yet everything to do with love.
Today, I wish you, my dear readers, a wonderful Valentine's Day and leave you with Alex Bilodeau's story, one that reminds us what true love is really about.

DeleteHappy Valentine's Day. I love a good story like this. It's funny...this year, I got my nephew a giant Valentine's Day card and stuffed animal so that he would have it when he first woke up in the morning...and I felt like I was more concerned with how he felt today than my sweetie. His mother is not in his life, so I want to do things for him that he's most likely missing that a mother would do.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you gave him an extra special Valentine's Day. :-)
DeleteThanks for sharing this! What an inspiring Valentine's Day story. And you're right--love stories can be so much more than just the romantic ones.

DeleteI love this story. The best thing about the Olympics for me is hearing all the athlete's stories. :-)
ReplyDeleteLeah, did you hear the story about the Canadian who helped the Russian skier by running out and giving him a pair of skis when the Russian's broke, so that the Russian didn't have to wobble to the finish line?
DeleteI've only watched a little bit of the olympics, but I so enjoy these types of stories more.
Alex Bilodeau's story is poignant and speaks to the powerful bond loving siblings share... He deserves his medals
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteI just read Alex's story last night on one of the news sites. What a testimony of love and a family who encouraged an amazing bond between brothers. I'm stopping by from the 100 Days Challenge. I'm glad to have found a new homeschool blog.
