Yesterday was a very difficult day. I found out that my friends, Tom and Melissa lost their 13 year old son, Mark, to complications from bone cancer. My heart breaks for them. Then, I found out a dear friend, Connie, was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery today. I will be with Connie during her fight. We are hoping she won't have to endure chemotherapy but if she does, I know she'll make it through. Connie is a fighter and this lady walked in my honor during the Race for the Cure for the past three years. Next year, I'll be walking in her honor.

I took this shot at the Cancer Survivor's Plaza in Downtown Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time there on Sunday afternoon in the rain. I stumbled across it when I was driving through town the day before and made it a point to go back. The energy I felt there was unbelievable and I cried a lot while I was there. Happy tears that this was built for us and sad tears for those that are going through the battle or have lost it. I will be posting a few more of these signs as they had a huge impact on me. I thank the people of Minneapolis for building this park.
