Hi, i haven't writen a few days. It's been just a busy week. Today Nicky's School attended the 20th Annual Special Olympics here in Attleboro. What an emotional day, we are so proud of him. With over 500 Athletes it was packed on the Attleboro High school Football fields. It started with a parade, where police departments from different towns came with their cars and motorcycles. What a sight. While Philip and Wolfgang watched the parade, Nicky and his class got ready for walking into the stadium. Everybody cheered! I felt that Nicky was very proud of himself. He smiled and was very happy. He was not bothered by the sounds and people. He did very well.
A girl was singing "Somewhere over the rainbow" and that was the point where my emotions cooked over :) Two Athletes lit the Olympic fire and the games where on!
Nicky finished second place each in Softball throw and 10m assistant walking. He RUN! We got home exhausted, but with two medals. I love this country and what they do for Special People.
Enjoy the pictures!
