Claire said...: It's gorgeous isn't it. My middle boy is a flag bearer for some of the Olympic football games in Cardiff, I'm sure I will be a blubbing mum watching him do just that. Those olympic mums will be so proud of their children xx; 30 June 2012 at 15:12
Cathy (aka Catherine) and Bill (aka William) said...: Oh my, goosebumps upon goosebumps and then the tears...

Memories of sitting on the sidelines or bleachers watching Cam play soccer since he was 5 (at that age the insects that clambered through the grass was much more interesting than the ball that was heading for him!). As he got older he blossomed into a talented striker... a natural soccer player with incredible potential.

At the age of 19 he was struck with a severe eye condition that required he have 2 corneal transplants. He was told he could not participate in any contact sports. He must quit soccer.

It broke this mum's heart but I did not say a thing except one big hug. He took it extremely well and is now still a soccer aficionado. For his university graduation present I bought him a VIP ticket to see one of Chelsea's important games in London. He plans to travel to Brazil in 2014 to attend some of the Fifa World Cup series.

I have learned some life lessons my son -- how he has responded to this tragedy. He turned a challenge into an opportunity.

In my mind he is a world champion soccer player...

Sarah, thanks so much for sharing this lovely ad.
