The 2010 Paralympics start Friday and they are an excellent opportunity for something phenomenal to happen and have someone step forward to be that phenmenom. I sure hope so, Terry's courage is still with us and Rick continues to lead the way, but won't it be great to see a triumviate, the next installment, right here.  I don't know who it might be, but I hope we're all watching.

Media likes phenomenon, something that continues to draw them back, again and again. Terry and Rick are those phenomenons. We walked and pushed every mile with them. Those feats can not be duplicated , they are miracles that take place right in front of us leaving behind memories that lasts a life time.

With all the confusion, anger and war, we need that one moment that points to us and our potential as human beings. A moment of great joy that carries us above the pettiness of our darker side. Allows all of us to experience sacrifice, courage and dedication showing us our brighter side.

I have friend in hospice,  his time is limited, but each moment we share I am inspired by his courage and dignity. I think we are going to see a lot of courage and dignity over these games and maybe, just maybe, we might see the next one.

See you tomorrow,

David Hutchison
