Time of my life....

After the initial shock of walking the Relay Survivor lap...it all went well from there! I was lost in the beginning, because I was by myself. But after the first 2 laps...it was all good.

Leslie and I had a awesome weekend walking side by side and staying up all night together. We are definitely going to make Redding Relay a part of our Relay adventure.

Whirlwind of deep emotions....

This weekend in Redding CA is the American Cancer Society, Relay for Life. It is a time to honor those who are Celebrating another birthday, taking a moment of remembrance of those who have lost their gentle lives to cancer, and fighting back with those who are battling this awful disease.

I had cancer just two short months ago. Cancer!! The word no one wants to hear in their lifetime. I am so heartbroken right now. I am in lost words of emotion right now!! Walking a Relay in support of those is such an invirgorating feeling. Being a 1st time Survivor to cancer, it is such a different feeling now. There will be so many survivors walking the Survivor Lap. I will be walking with so many survivors, but I will be walking it alone!? So many thoughts are going through my mind. I wish my brother was along side me as my dad too. But I know the track is bigger, and it is too much for my daddy. I know I have to be strong for this event, and I will certainly try to be just that....I know John will be with me looking down on me from Heaven. And I know I have my dad's support. My little sisters and mother will be there for me as well. It is just a different side of the fence now.

So emotional for me and this weekend will be unforgettable for sure....
