He had spent so much time and dedication preparing himself for this moment, the moment for winning an international event.
Winning the race would have guaranteed him renown as a gold medal winner.
What actually happened was the failure of his dream to win that particular event through serious injury which occurred shortly after he began the race.
He went on, instead, to win a triple gold.
Gold medal one - personal completion of a long sought after goal against, literally, all odds; and completion of that goal with grace, dignity, and the best in the human spirit.
Gold medal two - he showed us all the true lesson that alone, we can struggle. Together, with a father or mentor, we can do anything.
Gold medal three - instead of merely winning an event, he won all our hearts
There are those of us who do not have a earthly father or someone in our lives to help us along our way.
However, there is always Our Father in Heaven watching over us.
We are - truly - never alone.
