A Tragic Valentine

Happy Valentines day to you all but i'm afraid that this isn't happy post but one of surprise, sadness and one of an unknown future.

I feel so dazed by today's headlines about Oscar Pistorius! I feel truly shocked. I  have hated hearing/seeing it unfold as the day has gone on and am dreading hearing about his court appearanc. Of course i send my condolenses to the family of the poor woman too. Such a loss!

No one can ever take this moment from him!

 I am a huge fan and he is one of my heroes.  None of this seems right and i really do hope that we are all going to wake up in a minute and it will have been a nightmare but unfortunately i have a feeling this nightmare is only just beginning.

You don't have to be an athletics fan to acknowledge the amazing impact Oscar has made in the sport and the being the poster boy so London 2012 Paralympic games he has brought paralympic sport as a whole in to the public view where it well and truly belongs. His increased public position has gone on to icon status but i am now worried that it is only going to prove to be a platform for people to push him from now. 

One thing that has disgusted me about this affair is the lack of respect and compassion the public has shown. Within hours of the story breaking,  numerous social networking sites were being innundated with sick jokes about Oscar. Lets just remember that he is completely innocent until proven otherwise! 


 My support for Pistorius will not end here! That might seem ridiculous to some but no situation can take away the amazing acheivements. He still remains an inspiration and a hero in my eyes

 The one thought that scares me more than anything is - What if today is going to be the day people remember Oscar for rather than the gold medals and world records???
