Failing and it’s spectacular

Failing and it’s spectacular

Sometimes when we fail, we inspire others more than if we succeed.

Never give up!

At the 1992 Olympics, Derek Redmond fell in a race he was favored to win.

What happened next is something I will never forget. A man breaks through the barriers to help him finish the race.

This shows how we must continue on, and always help those who have fallen.

I’ve helped some when they have fallen. Still, I will never be able to account for The ones who have helped me.

Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up.

My mother’s grace and love always picked me up. I miss her beyond words. This always makes me think of her.

  Yes! The moment is bittersweet. I often think of Derek, watching this now. I’m overcome with emotion thinking of his own emotions now. So touching. ❤️
  Thank you for the kind words 🙂
