A great surprise and Relay Day

So after treatment on Friday and I arrive home - pulling into our back yard parking spot there were 4 unexpected and very welcomed guest hanging out in out new favorite backyard hangout.  Tony & Barb along with Ryan and Barb traveled to the great plains to join in the Relay for Life night.  I was once again set to a speechless state, partial was also the sedatives and medications, mostly the utter shock of once again an astounding level of support.   I have been over joyed to be able to share the relay experience with some great friends.  With Erin in town that is 5 friends traveling over 2000KM to us.  Words don't come easy. 

Now on to Relay for Life Regina.

 Here is the team and our Bronze Plaque for raising more then $5000.

What an amazing, inspirational and heart felt night.  The evening started off with the Survivor lap which brought hope and inspiration.  Seeing the number of yellow shirts and hearing the years of beating the disease, 20 years+ 30 years+ 40 and even 50+ plus and then someone first time 53 years and a second time at 3 years.  That is some positive reinforcement to fight hard, fight smart and just to keep fighting. My yellow shirt is going to have many years of wear and tear.


The luminaries truly a beautiful moment to be sharing with everyone was profound.  The pictures will speak for themselves to how astounding  this part of the Relay was.

Most of the team lasted over night.   I headed home around 1am to sleep.  The site was to noisy to sleep in the tent with the band playing and plenty of people milling about.  Next year all night it is.
