FREEWRITE: "I remember where I was when...."
Last night was a fantastic night for Canada. It's times like that that I am going to remember for a long, long time...times like that that make me proud to be who I am and from where I am from.
Hockey is totally Canada's game and I have many memories of "where I was when" special things happened. I remember where I was standing in the rink when the rockets won the Prov championship in 1995. I remember intertwining my hands in the wire (something my mom would have been ticked off about) and watching my Dad lean up against the rafter brace as he coached. I remember the crowd and how big it was and how proud I was to be from Raymore when the buzzer went and we won that game.
I remember national events as well. I remember where I was when Canada beat the United States in the Salt Lake City Olympics of 2002. I was in Hancock Hall, a dorm on the University of Maine campus. It figures that I would be in the USA when that happened! It's ironic that I was in Hancock because that is where I ended up living when I came to UMaine that fall-- I lived there for 2 years. I was as proud of my country then as I am today.
I know I will remember yesterday's game for a long time as well; sitting on the couch, nervous with heart pounding...not talking to my husband, who sat beside me but wore stars and stripes instead of the maple leaf. I will remember the roar of the crowd, the passion of the country, the emotion in my own heard that I know was shared by 30 million other Canadians... my elated feeling that this is what it's all about. It was an amazing moment.
