I've been snowboarding for as long as I can remember, and my one goal has always been to make it to the Olympics. Now here I am competing in my third Olympics, and every time is a rush. This year is different though for me, because I have my girlfriend (you) with. We've been dating for 3yrs now. She's stuck by my side through injuries, and just everything that life has thrown at me. I can't imagine my life without her. She's amazing. My plan, unbeknownst to her, is to propose to her at the Olympics. Whether or not I win a gold medal or not, I've already won, because I have her. It's a month before the Olympics when my parents are killed in a horrific car accident. My world is shaken to the core. I'm struggling with wrapping my head around the loss of my parents. They've always been there for me, supporting my dreams completely, and now they were both gone. The loss is all consuming. The grief. I've got a huge decision to make. Do I pull out of the USA men's snowboarding team? Or do I continue to go? I know my parents would want me to go no matter what. To do my best for them, but I just don't know if I can. My days are spent lost in grief and tears. Planning my parents funeral. Taking care of all of the arrangements. I'm grateful for my girlfriend. She's been my rock through the loss. Without her by my side, I know I'd never survive. The snowboarding community has been amazing. Helping me to focus, reminding me of what my parents would've wanted, for me to go to the Olympics. Between my girlfriend, my fellow snowboarders, and my coaches, I know I need to stay the coarse. Go to the Olympics as planned next month. I train harder than I ever have before. A fire lit inside me. I was doing this for my parents. I'd win for them. We're at the Olympics and I've been unstoppable. I was performing better than I ever have. Pulling off huge tricks on the half pipe. I was sitting in number one spot. The gold was mine. I look over at you. "I love you."
