At the 2010 Winter Games, there will be approximately 2,500 athletes from over 80 nations that will compete in 15 sports for over 86 separate medal events.

LOVE IS……
Y   a feeling you miss when you no longer have it.
Y   an itch at the bottom of our heart that is sometimes hard to scratch.
Y   the sweet fragrance of roses in June.
Y   caring for those who touch your life.
Y   friendship, acceptance, belonging and togetherness.
Y   a gift we receive every time we give it away.
Y   everything precious.
Y   God.
Y   endless.
