I decided to stay in a hotel the night before because I didn't want to have to wake up and load the kids so early. So Sara and Kelli came and we all stayed at Little America the night before. We went swimming, got room service and the kids all got to take a tub together! SO fun!!
We got to the race and it was filled with pink! SO many people! Thank God I had on glasses because it was all I could do to not cry. This race is not like most races. It is only a 5k so their aren't runners that are there to train or just run, these "runners" all had a purpose...to one day find a cure. I got to thinking all that my cousins had been thru with their mom and the great fight Nancy fought. It was hell! And to think that breast cancer had affected everyone there today in some way was incredible to me. Women are strong beings, no doubt!! Most of the crowd was women, some with no hair. I wanted to hug them, tell them it would be okay. Some men, old and young...had they lost a wife, mother, sister? Life sometimes just dosen't make sense. Why does God give some the trials that he does? Anyway, today was humbeling to say the least! I was so very honored to be able to go and walk with my beautiful cousins in celebration of Nancy's life! Nancy, today was for you!....and the next year and the next.....
We may have been one of the last teams to make it to the finish line...but I'm pretty sure we were the best looking team!! That's gotta count for something!! Love you girls and your bobbies!!!
