Owens elementary school is small…one of the reasons I love him going there!! But they put on a cancer walk every year…and its always a day I do NOT miss being at his school!! This year was pretty cool too because there is a little boy in Owen’s grade who is fighting brain cancer…and hes beating it!! So the kids got to see him and other cancer survivors..which Owen is always proud of his Mama and Nana for that.
The whole school makes posters, raise money and then participate in a mini relay for life! Its cute! This year was luau theme…they soaked the principal and all loved it.
Loved being able to have Nana there as well. We got to hang with all the cancer fighters and survivors. Which I feel awkward so its nice having mom there with me!
And our little sidekicks!
Then walk time…which I had to ditch out early for. But my kids didn’t mine since they had their Nana there!! lol
I love bringing awareness to my kids. When they grow up someday I’ll be able to explain to them about their Mama’s battle and journey and how each of them played a different role in that!! But for now they just know that Cancer is bad and it made Mommy sick years ago! Even Maggie is starting to ask questions…
This picture is framed in our china cabinet and Maggie always asks why my hair is gone. Shes starting to notice and ask questions at 2 years old.
