Survivor = Jack

Friday morning and the kids are out of school today. An unused snow day. We have some fun things planned and have been looking forward to this day all week. Primetime and Mine By Design along with my most favorite part of the day - Relay for Life tonight. Jack was asked to walk the "Survivor's" Lap 2 years ago. At that time he was finishing up chemo was rail thin and bald. I would have probably considered him at the time "Surviving." But tonight he will don the "Survivor" sash and make that first lap with other kids he knows and many other kids and adults that he doesn't. This time "Survivor" is a word we can embrace and cry and pray and shout joyfully. Thank you God.
I look forward to going this evening and taking pictures of my Survivor. Check back to see the pics in a couple of days.

Edit to add:
Relay For Life is at ACU and starts at 7pm with the Survivors Lap.
Jack's school, Wylie Intermediate, is walking and they are also running the booth, "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" there will be different booths that are raising money for the Cancer Society. The Relay ends at 7am.
This event is open to the public, if you want to come by and scream for Jack and the other survivors as they walk be there right before 7pm.

Hey, Tammy -

I hope ya'll had a good walk Friday night. Looking forward to the pictures.

I read your blog all the time, just don't comment too often. I'm glad things are going so well for everyone.

I still hope to come out to Abilene soon, but think I need to wait now until the airline problems get worked out a little bit. What a mess.

Much love,

Dee
