A Road to Barcelona: A Mother's Account

This is a mother’s story of her two daughters leaving home at young ages to pursue gymnastics dreams to be Olympians. The loneliness and longing to be with her daughters during their journey and the long separations were not easy to describe. Difficulties, indecisiveness, joy, pride, and sadness—they all played a role in that journey. Maybe they didn’t make it to the Olympics, but there were decisions, successes, and experiences that this mother wanted to share.
