Beat It!

Last night the kids and I went to Relay for Life. It was great to see so many teams there last night and to walk through the tents and be able to donate some money to a special cause. However the best part of the night included 2 things:
1. Watching Roland walk the survivor lap! We love you Uncle Ro!
2. We went to a tent to buy a cupcake and there was a "birthday" sign to write the name of someone who is celebrating a birthday that has beaten cancer. Jacob said to me, "Mom, will you write Papa's name on there?" It was the sweetest thing and I could barely hold back tears--sweet boy!
I tried to explain to him what relay for life meant and that we were here to support Mr Roland and all the people we knew that were not sick anymore (like Papa and Uncle Fred) and some that are still sick. He didn't forget what I said and it was the cutest thing ever!
If you ever get the chance to attend or be part of a relay for life, I strongly encourage you to do it! Help beat cancer!
