INSPIRATION FROM AN OLYMPIAN

You may not be familiar with the name, Oscar Pistorius, but you have probably heard his nickname, "The Bladerunner".  This inspirational human being was born with a genetic defect in his legs, so severe, that both legs had to be amputated below the knees, when he was only 11 months old!  Several months later, he was fitted with prostheses and went on to live a normal life, thanks to his parents, who did not believe in pampering him.  His mother would say to his brother, "Go put on your shoes," while, at the same time, she would tell Oscar, "Go put on your legs!"  Now, he is an Olympian!!  Unfortunately, his mother died when he was a young teen (as if he didn't have enough heartache as it was, right?!)  When interviewed a few days ago about that, his reply was this:  "Don't mourn the time you don't have with them; celebrate the time you did."  An inspiration in more ways than one!!
