Walk and Run to the Finish Line

7128_1229214258163_1463283320_664680_3658702_nIt is finished for now!  We are a proud family of our “Live, Love, Laugh” marathon team.  My daughter has lost several of her toenails and several of her toes are black and blue and we will not talk about blisters!   My son-in-law suffered no injuries and had strength left over after the race.  They ran for the American Cancer Society.  My other son-in-law is walking around with cancer in his body at this time and taking pills to survive and he was there cheering our family runners on to the finish line.  Just wanted to share with you our happiness when we stood in front of the “Finish Line” with our family gathering together once again for each other.  That is what families do, right?  By the way, it was 32 degrees when they were running and we all were very, very cold.  As runners, they warmed up.  As followers, we stayed cold!  Hurray for the finishers and once again we thank them for raising money for their favorite charities; their training team; their determination and reaching their goals.  Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
