Olympic Trials 2012

We all know Phil deserved the top spot on the Olympic wrestling team for 66kg, but God simply didn't have it in the plan for Phil to go to the London 2012 Olympics. Yet, he was still victorious in the way he wrestled like a champion. Like I told him, just because the world doesn't know you are the best, does not mean you aren't the best. We all know he is. Wrestling is just such a toss up to me somtimes, depending on which side of the bracket you're on and of course it's up to the calls sometimes (I still have bitterness towards the ref's call of course). This is not the end of the road and Phil might continue to embark on this journey with the fire and passion for it still in his heart. God has a much better plan whatever that may be. All I know is He's so anxious to have Phil continue to leave his mark on many people's lives with whatever steps he takes in the future.

All of us Simpson's and friends were so thrilled to be there and proud to watch our hero on the mat, especially John and Dominic. We had a great time being there celebrating Phillip.
