✨The Skipper Award ✨
In remembrance of my Grandfather aka Skipper, who proudly watched me skate, I would do anything in this world to be back in his arms. I miss my grandfather everyday I wish he knew all that I have accomplished to this day.
I am beyond proud of Rachael for winning this award this year with a technical mark of 30.09 in her free program !!!
My heart is full today I remember the last time he watched me skate and with a proud smile he would look down at me and smile “I never noticed any mistakes today” 🤣 and I’d laugh at him and say yes Skipper it was pretty good today ❤️ Every time I was with my grandfather we would run into someone he knows and they would always say this is the figure skater, to see people succeed in this sport beyond what is required of them makes me beam with pride!! It don’t matter where you come from or what you have access to all that matters is what is in your heart and to believe in yourself and never give up on your dreams ✨
