Power of Teal

Today was the Power of Teal walk for ovarian cancer. When I first saw the information on line, I emailed it to my kids and told them that I wanted a team for my birthday. They ran with it. Elizabeth designed a team Tshirt. We kicked around all sorts of potential team names (we didn't think the organization would appreciate "fuck cancer") We settled on "unlikely heroes". I didn't realize until one of the girls told me that it is exactly one year today that we got the word from the oncologist that I was officially cancer free. As I looked around at some of the other teams, I got teary when I saw a team shirt that said "walking in memory of..."  I am so grateful that I was walking with my team.
Today was just perfect!
