Natalie Hawkins, the mother of Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas, found out quickly what it meant to let go. This brave single mother sent her youngest daughter, Gabby, to Des Moines, Iowa -- over 3,000 miles away from their hometown in Virginia Beach, Va. This sacrifice was all in the name of accomplishing a big Olympic dream, but it was not in vain. Gabby went on to place first in the Olympic trials, guaranteeing her the first spot on the USA women's gymnastics team. After her powerful and stellar routines, you will find Gabby and her affectionate smile giving glory to God. Go USA!
