 Mount Elbrus journal entry:
August 19, 2002
“It
was an emotional summit day for me today. My body was tired and my
heart was heavy. I wore a lock of Mom’s hair in a necklace that
hung around my neck throughout this climb. My dad’s ring was
attached to its chain. They are always in my heart and I carried
my parents with me in spirit. As I reached the top, I looked at
the grand vista around me. I shouted “Good Bye Mom”, with tears
running down my frozen cheeks.” |
