Thank you Team USA for making it so compelling.
Thank you for giving families an opportunity to sit down and watch TV together.
Thank you for giving us parents a way to show our kids what hard work, dedication and perseverance can achieve.
Thank you for handling yourselves with grace.
Thank you. Just, thank you. No, really, thank you. A lot.
I cheered for you and shed tears for you. Can't wait to see what you do in 2012.(Photos from NBC, MSNBC and Phelp's abs from here)
