When Kev and I ran the 5k, I remember seeing hundreds of pink ribbons tied to a wall, each one labeled with a name of someone who was currently fighting or lost to Breast Cancer. I remember wondering about each name. . .their families, their struggle, the blood, sweat, and tears. A little name on the ribbon didn't seem like enough. I'm sure each one could have been a novel of experiences--triumphs, losses, joy, and sadness. <br />Like you, I am so glad so many people are willing and able to support the cause. But I never knew how awful it all could be until it wormed its way into my life through someone I love very, very much. I agree that people probably rarely understand the severity.<br />No matter what, we love and pray for you all the time. We'll wear our pink ribbons with pride (12 years of survival is definitely something to be proud of. Our mama is a WARRIOR!), but we'll also remember what it means to wear that ribbon. <br />We love you Mama. :)Kevin and Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902492203469225927noreply@blogger.com
