Today is the day for Relay for Life. We got started in this 6 years ago when we found out that our daughter had Leukemia. We thank God every day for her being in remission now for 6 years. She is doing Great!!
Dennis wanted to go to this years Relay for Life even if it was only for a few laps around the track. He of course was to weak to walk it this year so we had the push wheelchair for him. We usually walk for several hours, but I wasn’t to comfortable on him going out and being around all of those germs with his immune system being so low. So I made a deal with him. He would wear a mask while he was there except when he and Jennifer walked the survivor lap. Going around the survivor lap was very hard on him. It was bad enough that we had to walk it with our daughter but now the both of them. It was a very emotional time for our family. At one point Dennis just broke down. Of course as soon as he did there was 6 other eyes crying right along with him. When you see your family member hurting then you hurt as well. We walked the track several laps and then we came home, he tires easily and he was ready to go. This was only the 2nd time Dennis has been out in public in a month and half.
