Relay For Life


On Friday we walked for "More Birthdays".  This year, we walked in honor of our Pappy (My Dad); and, we walked in memory of  - well I don't know what he would be called - Jerry's Dad died of cancer before any of his seven grand children could give him his Grandpa name.  Among the hundreds of luminaries that surrounded the track at Javelina Stadium - there were two very special ones for the grandpa's.  It was strange seeing "In memory of Jerry McQueen"  on the luminary - It is my father-in-law's name; but, it is also my husband's and my son's...

This year we ALL walked - last year Haddie could not even sit up - we had to prop her in the wagon with her boppy. This year she and Jerry rode for a mile in the wagon. Then the Jerrys ran 1/2 a mile. Haddie walked 1/4 of mile with her SQUEAKY shoes on!  She attracted some attention.  It was a wonderful event with some amazing local talent.
