Relay for Life at my daughter's school

Relay for Life: Today the school hosted the relay. We arrived and listened to a speaker from the Cancer Society who talked about various things they provide. She teased us not telling us what the school raised financially just yet. The people who were invited were those who were fighting cancer and their families. One young student, and if there were students who had family members with cancer those were the invited guests. For example. Zoe being a student with me, her mom with cancer, another student with her grandma with cancer. I believe there were 9 people invited along with their families. The students and family went outside to make a circle, all the Cancer participants went out and walked in a circle in the middle and all the people clapped and cheered for us, it was heartful. We then went back in and went into the Luminaria room where our family had decorated bags in our honour with glowing candles. They were so beautiful in the dark. Then we had munchies! It was a very special afternoon. Thank you Zoe  Ana Grace. for being with your mom during this time <3 <3 <3 Oh yeah!! Raised nearly $5000!!!!!!
