Today was a great day. We attended the Race for Hope with our family and friends. It was wonderful to see all the supporters that came out and walked with us. It was also very nice to see friends under a different circumstance other then a hospital waiting room. It was good to laugh, catch up and just be around people that are a part of out lives.
The race raised for 11 million dollars and there were over 10 thousand people at Freedom Plaza. It was interesting to see the different T shirts that people were wearing for the loved ones that have passed or continue to fight. The race had a wall of hope that was filled with the young and old and their plights with cancer. The pictures that impacted me the most were the young children and the teenagers. It was sad to see that such a young life can be taken. It makes me thankful that I have had 19 years with JD and hopefully many more to come.
I want to thank all the people that reached out to me since my last post. I have had people share their thoughts with me that have helped me a great deal. I want to thank Connie Hawkins (Sarah Hawkins Tozer's mommy) for the email. It helped me put my feelings in perspective.
