relay for LIFE


after visiting my great grandma, we made our way back to J's home town

this is something we look forward to every year....and for good reason

J's dear aunt, Barb, joined the angels after a long battle with cancer
and ever since, we've been celebrating her life by getting together each summer at the Relay for Life



we eat good food
run around after littles
thank the Good Lord that he keeps adding to our number year after year
cheer on the survivors
and remember.....







for one crisp dollar, Peach got a purple ballon that she later released into the sky as we watched it float with the others up to Angel Barb




 can i just tell you how much this little man steals my heart?
a million times over.
it's his grandma that we gather to remember

 her momma...

her aunt....

her sister...

his aunt...

 his sister-in-law...

she was a lot of things to a lot of people
and we miss her terribly








it was so sweet to finally have a cool breeze and a beautiful night to be outside, enjoying each others' company and letting our thoughts settle on a wonderful and dearly loved part of this family
