crystleshoe Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Today was a great day for me. I havent had one sad moment all day. I have decided to do Relay for Life through the American Cancer Society. I was concerned because I needed to form a team of 8-15 people. My 2 sisters had said they would do it with me so we met at my sisters to choose our theme and plan things. By the end of the day I have 9 people confirmed and 4 more maybe's. My dad wants to do it with us and although he cant walk for 18 hours he will be there manning the tent. Everyone is so excited. But I am the most excited. I think I have been having the hardest time dealing with moms passing(maybe cuz Im the baby of the family or cuz I fought so hard for her life) and now I feel like she is guiding me to this and I feel like it wasnt all for nothing. We have already gotten 125.00 in donations and I feel like I have a purpose again. I feel like im always so sad when I post here so I thought that it would be nice to hear from me when I am happy. Cancer sucks but life is good. Quote
