I have to admit I never thought they were supposed to be related. I figured the guy was training with the girl because they had a similar handicap and that was their only connection.
And don’t feel bad because you misread the situation. It’s not that big a deal.
I feel sorry for the little girl-no hands seems like it will be a severe handicap. Thank god legs are less of an issue that in years gone by. Other than that, kind of a trite message but a nice one.
I had just watched Pistorius run in the Olympics this morning so when I saw this pic I just thought some more about that. I’m really impressed by this guy.
I didn’t realize the guy in the picture was Pistorious (because I didn’t see his little nametag initially), but my first thought on the picture was “Awwww” as in cute and awesome that the handicapped athlete was mentoring (and possibly inspiring) the little handicapped girl.
The only horrifying thought I had was, “Even in an ad about empowerment, they have to stick the little girl in a dress.” Who can be athletic in a damned dress?
I also thought he might fall over, trying to run slowly enough to keep pace with her.
