last weekend i went to see my friend henry cross the finish line for his bike ride from houston to austin to raise money for MS. it was such an amazing experience to witness. i stood at the last turn before the finish line and got to watch the riders round the bend and see the finish line with the capital building in the background after two full day of riding.
i watched work groups wait for each other so they could cross together. i saw families crossing hand in hand. i saw people with health problems fighting to finish strong. i watched children, classmates, and mother cheering for everyone who passed by.
and it was beautiful.
