Krazy Kurers
Mother's Day morning we headed down for the Race. Tons of people everywhere...no parking...lots of love. I saw so many people walking with pink signs that said "in memory of" or "in celebration of" and the name of a woman who has or had breast cancer. And then I saw the pink shirts. Any woman with a pink shirt is a survivor--and there were lots of them. As we were leaving the tent area, I saw a young girl--maybe 6 years old. Her sign said "in celebration of my mom" and her mom was standing next to her holding her baby brother or sister. I just thought of all the struggles she must have gone through and what her daughter had to learn at such an early age. Maybe she had the cancer before her kids were born and now they get to celebrate her triumph. I couldn't stop looking at them as we walked by. I had to say a little prayer for her to stay healthy.
And then there's my Kristie. She is a trooper. And beautiful. And I had to hold back the tears because I didn't want to be selfish in my out pouring of emotion. But I love her and I'm so proud of her. I'm so thankful that she has such a wonderful man in her life. Kristie's husband Jimmy is loving, protective, smart, funny, and you can see his big old heart and shiny soul beaming through his eyes as soon as you meet him.
