Yesterday, I went to a Relay for Life event at Westlake High School with Mom, Aunt Janet and Uncle Bill. Aunt Janet is a 33 year breast cancer survivor. Mom is a 6 month survivor. They were part of the 100 or so honored guests of the event. Uncle Bill and I were there as Caregivers. We were all given t-shirts for survivors and caregivers. We listened to the opening ceremonies speeches. Then, the survivors and caregivers walked around the track. Aunt Janet pulled Mom up to walk around. Mom made it about a quarter of the way around the track, but she just didn't have the energy to walk the entire lap. Aunt Janet made it around the track. It was really emotional to watch the survivors walk by. Mom is now a survivor and I'm so proud of that.
