Relay for Life

We went to the American Cancer Society's Relay for LIfe last night. It was really touching to see all of the luminary bags in honor of those who had died from or are currently struggling with cancer. Something about looking at my mother's name on one of the bags brought back a flood of feelings and memories, and made me a little teary. There was a nice feeling of solidarity there--among people who have lost loved ones, or are helping others with cancer. The kids enjoyed the children's activities, and we watched the fireworks after walking the track for the relay. A very worthwhile and fun evening. I'm really remembering mom today.
