crystleshoe Posted March 25, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recce101 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Cheryl, that's terrific! Having great family support in such a positive event as Relay for Life must be a large part of your joy. I have a feeling you'll be doing this or something similar more than once. Congratulations and Aloha, Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sis Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Bravo For You and all your efforts!!! I agree with you... We gotta be pro-active to do whatever possible to help those survivors. We will always cherish our lost loved ones and we CAN do something to try and make a difference. Keep the positive vibes going.
