Maybe it's the dream that triggers it.
Maybe it's the smell.
Maybe it's just feeling really, really sad one day.
And that helps remind me that I want to take some time and remember my dad and think about him.
I feel like people need to understand that on top of the burden of losing someone you've lost, the burden of feeling like you're going to forget them is so, so scary, especially for kids.
Give yourself the time and the grace to know that memory is not what you think it is.
I'm literally not here for the medal and I'm not here for anything else besides just the joy that I get between the start and the finish with really good skiing and powerful skiing.
And that made me feel more connected to my dad than I have in a long time before.
I didn't even start to dive into understanding the grief until after the Beijing Olympics.
That was my first Olympics where my dad was not there.
And after somebody like a fan found my number and called like three times in a row and I finally answered it.
He's like, just hear me out for a second.
I won't ever bother you again, but I need to tell you my theory.
And it was basically that I didn't want to experience anything.
a successful Olympics where he wasn't at the finish line.
It was a weird conversation, but I did take it to heart.
And I started seeing this psychologist and that was when I started to dive into some of the pain more thoroughly, trying to unpack the Olympics and how that ties to
how I feel I'm able to honor my dad's memory.
And I've only come to realize that more, ironically, because of the crash I had in Killington
two years ago in November, I got this weird, very, very weird accident, one in a million chance, but I got a, basically a stab wound to my abdomen and nearly went through my colon.
