It's almost that time...

Well It's almost relay time!!! Another ICU nurse and I have taken on the great task of being team captains for the hospital for this years Relay for Life. It has been very busy and overwhelming at times but our team had done really well with all of our fundraising. Little Montgomery County is actually #6 in the nation per capita on funds raised! Yesterday we had the Survivor dinner at the local high school and we had such a large crowd! It was wonderful! As a nurse I see so much cancer and how awful it can be for not only the patient but the family. It seems that everyone has been impacted somehow by cancer personally. My grandfather was a wonderful man loved by many. I watched this strong man's body become weak and frail because of cancer. He always had a great sense of humor and a story to tell. Since I was working in Jackson, MS at the time I could only see him when I was visiting Natchez for the weekend. I was fortunate to see him for the last time in good spirits and laughing and that is how I will always remember him. I hope that one day this horrible disease will be totally curable.
