Diana Theresa Maria Case = the original Bird
I consider myself truly blessed to have Diana as my sister. She encourages and supports me in all my pursuits - she's been there for most my biggest life altering moments ... to celebrate or commiserate, cheering me on from near or far, through happy jumping-for-joy times and devastating bawling-my-eyes-out-gulping-for-air times, with praise or gentle soothing words, with big hugs and her beaming pearly whites or knowing when I've had enough "space" and sitting with me in a necessary thoughtful silence.
This blog is dedicated to my main Bird
who is once again going above and beyond what most friends and sisters do ... she is coming to France to support me at the 2012 World Duathlon Championship in Nancy, France. When I decided to accept my qualifying spot on the 2012 Triathlon Canada Age Group team, my first ever international competition, I was prepaed to go alone. When I told Birdie about it, she told me she was so proud of me and that she'd do everything she could to be there. We both have great pride in being Canadians and both can become quite emotional about what it means to represent our great nation. Bird has already worn a uniform in service of Canada as former enlisted member of the Canadian Armed Forces. I am honoured to be able to wear a Team Canada uniform bearing the Case name even for a brief time. Having Diana there to witness and share my big moment on September 23rd has made this an experience of a lifetime even more special!
