Cora, Olympics, CHD Awareness week. Unstoppable.

Cora was 5 days old when she passed away from an undetected heart defect. Her Mommy, Kristine has been working very hard, and especially in the past week. Kristine has been guest posting on blogs like a mad woman. she's amazing. I really do look up to her for what she's done and continues to do. I tell her constantly, but words will never be able to describe how proud I am to be her friend.

Earlier this week, in CHD awareness style, I had a Live Chat on Monday night and it was a great success. There was a lot of great talk. It was a little bumpy at first, but hey. It was my first time putting together a Live chat. And we had 15 viewers for our first live chat. Tuesday night, I worked really hard to make the Cora's Story Video. It has had 145 YouTube views in three days and over 60 comments on Facebook.

I must say, Join The Fight: CHD has the BEST fans on Earth. We are currently sitting at 2,255 fans. It's increible what JTF has turned into... I've been told it's a place for families to connect, to get advice, to share stories, to gain friendships, and to help through the tough times, and I'm fine with that. I started JTF not knowing where it would go. What would happen. Would it even be a success? I seriously thought I wouldn't even hit 100 fans. But in the past two and a half months it has sky rocketed into something amazing. Something that I never imagined. I have become friends with many, many different people from so many different places. It's beyond unbelievable.

Last night the 20l0 Vancouver Winter Olympics started. With that was the tragic death of a Luger from Republic of Georgia. I wanted to take a moment and state that my thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and fellow athletes. This accident could have easily been avoided if Canada (and I am slightly blaming Canada for this... mainly the track developers) had of padded up the metal polls and put some type of netting there, the young man killed could have lived. He may have been badly beat up, but he would have had his life, which is the most important thing. On a happier note for the 2010 Olympics. Canada womens hockey team completely kicked Slovakia's butt tonight with an 18-0 victory while setting an new Olympic record. Congratulations to the Canadian Women's Hockey team. One sport I am rather looking forward to is one of the Snowboarding events. One of the females who attends my high school is competing in, I believe, the half pipe. I will indeed be cheering her on.

A ran across a song that's on the USA Team Olympic Soundtack (Just to verify, I am rooting Canada on 2,255%) but I loved it. I thought the words fit how I feel about what's going on with me, and what's going on around me right now.

Unstoppable (Team USA Olympic Mix) -  Rascal Flatts

So, so you made a lot of mistakes
Walk down the road a little sideways
Cracked a brick when you hit the wall


Yeah, so you didn't do your best
Pull you down faster then a sunset
Hey, it happens to all of us
When the cold hard rain just won't quit
And you can't see your way out of it


You find your faith has been lost and shaken
Here's your chance and it's worth taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
You've got the strength to raise the win
Remember what one dream can do
You are unstoppable


You, you can weather any storm
Don't you know that you were born to win
Oh, you'll find a helping hand when you need it most
A lighthouse shining on the coast
That never goes dim
When you're backs against the was
When you stumble when you fall

You find your faith has been lost and shaken

Here's your chance and it's worth taken

Get on your knees and dig down deep

You can do what you think is impossible

Keep on believing, don't give in

You've got the strength to raise the win

Remember what one dream can do

You are unstoppable

Like a river keeps on rolling
Like a North wind blowing 
Don't it feel good knowing

Yeah

You find your faith has been lost and shaken

Here's your chance and it's worth taken

Get on your knees and dig down deep

You can do what you think is impossible

Keep on believing, don't give in

You've got the strength to raise the win

Remember what one dream can do

You are unstoppable

You are unstoppable

So you made a lot of mistakes
But you got back into the game
You, you are unstoppable

Anyways, It's bedtime. I work in the A.M. Hope you all have and Awesome Saturday night and Sunday!
