October....

I can't believe it's October already....but it is. With October comes cooler weather, changing colors, and Halloween. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month. September was Childhood Cancer Awareness month. It is very, very sad to me that we have to have our months assigned to raising awareness for cancer. I wish that we could dedicate the months to something alot more fun....like Tootsie Roll month....or Let's Take Mom to Lunch month. But.....Cancer is a huge part of our world today. Breast cancer gets alot of attention and funding. I don't know why it gets more than the other cancers....it just does. Last year, I walked for the first time in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. I wish that there was an event like this to raise money and awareness for Childhood Cancer. Y'all know how I feel about Childhood Cancer. Just because we choose to walk in this event, does NOT mean that we are supporting breast cancer over childhood cancer.....Cancer robs us all of people that we love...our kids, our friends, our mothers, sisters, aunts, our fathers and brothers....uncles and husbands. Yes, childhood cancer needs so much more attention and funding.....but if you can get out and so SOMETHING....maybe...just maybe we can save another life. I will be walking....in Pink....on October 24th.....but just like every other time that I walk....I will have my sweet kiddos on my wrist....walking for Graden, Makenzie, Karli, Savannah, Bishop, and little Thomas, too.
