It's surgery time ...... Again

At this point we are regulars at the hospital. We have our own parking spot ( mostly bc Brad parks wherever he wants) and between all of our surgeries we know everyone and are accumulating frequent flyer miles !! Wish me luck !!

It's A Pink Thing

Every year the Wee Elks support breast cancer awareness by having their teams wear pink socks, or wrist bands or bows in their hair, etc. (you get the idea).  The boys like it because they get to wear pink and we all know Real Men Wear Pink right?  I always appreciated it because of my mom having lost her battle to breast cancer.  This year though my son's team actually has a real connection to breast cancer awareness and the everyday fight of people who are diagnosed.  It brought tears to my eyes to realize the connection that the team has, especially my own son.  

People continue to amaze me.  I was surprised by our football family this week.  Shannon Lavigne and Amie Culberg are the team moms for Luke's 5th grade team.  To make the connection even more meaningful for our boys, they had breast cancer ribbon embroidered on to the front of their jerseys without me knowing. So imagine my surprise when I was handed Luke's jersey and I saw it.  It took everything in me not to start crying.  It is a small symbol of support with gigantic meaning and love behind it.  It is placed directly above their heart and every time I look at it I smile and remember the love behind it.  Our boys are supporting breast cancer fighters, survivors and honoring those who lost the battle every game throughout the entire season.

People are truly amazing.  Thank you to our 5th grade black football family from the bottom of my heart.
