thinking about the fight with cancer

I read so many things about cancer, folks fighting it, folks dying from it, the research, the events. I read the blogs by Leroy Sievers and the Cancer Diva blog. I read, and loved, the book Cancer Vixen. I read Lance's book and check in on his LiveStrong site. I see the "Say it, Fight it, Cure it" bracelet on my wrist every day. I think about it a lot.

I was just writing a note to the Wyoming Library Community Relay for Life team. In it I wrote, "to know that folks are fighting for you, for your very future, is just amazing ..." I think about that a lot, too.

I want everyone to know how much I appreciate the cards, the emails, the gifts; how much your prayers and positive thoughts mean to me; how much I appreciate everyone who takes the field for Relay, walks or runs in an event, who gives money to the fight. I think about that a lot.

It is amazing. Strangers work hard to help you live. It is amazing. So many people are touched by cancer. It is amazing. So much still has to be done.
I think about that a lot.
