Today... today i worked. I worked from 12-4, i cant say i nejoyed myself at work but it wa a decent day. but after work was something to talk about. iwent home and rested for a while but around 7:30 my momma picked me up and took me to The Relay For Life. My mom has had breast cancer for about 4 years. And i comend her for goin what she has gone through and being strong. She is my idol because of her strength to survive. I went to honor her. As much as i thought i wouldnt like it i enjoyed myself. I went with her and walked to the tent, it was at downingtown west high school, you walked on the track for money people donated money and there were alot of people there, alot of survivers, there familys and just people there to suport. I found a few friends like Sarah so i walked with her for a while. I saw one lady, who needed a walker to get around. That to me was amazing to see someone who can barely walk going around a track to raise money for cancer, it was commendable to see her doing that, but it was also commendable to see the youngest survivor was a 6 year old boy who was my sisters cheer leading coach. She knew him back when he was 2, when he was diagnosed with cancer that to me in a strong person. Someone who can survive that. But at the time everyone lit candles for the surviors and also lit candles for the people who have failed to concor there cancer. Everyone stood in silence and held hands as a man played the bad pipes to amazing grace. I think tonight in my book gave a new deffinition to touching. As the man played amazing grace i walked around trying to mind my mom, to be with her as this seramony was going on. because i knew it would meen alot to her. There were so many people there it was hard to find her in the dark. I found her trawds the end of the seramony, even though i wasnt there with her through it, im sure it ment alot more to her that i was there even twards the end. But as i walked around the track around the people holding hands and the people crying, it touched me to realize how lucky i am to have my mom with me today and how lucky she is to be here. The people crying, how they must feel, i was crying on the inside. I was crying for all of those people, it was like i could feel there pain which was weird. I didnt no if they were crying for joy, or crying for sadness. Either was it was touching it was an awesome night in my opinion. Something everyone should expreience. I love you all haha
