Our daughter, Eliza, has been dating a wonderful, young man for well over a year now and we love Pat. Yesterday, on Mother's Day, my husband and I walked with Eliza and Pat and his family in the Race for the Cure. We honored Pat's mom, Mary, a survivor and every other survivor. We also honored those who have lost their lives to cancer.

The weather cooperated and it was an amazing event. To see over 20,000 people walking in one long line, all for a common cause was wonderful. There were children of all ages, folks of all sizes and even dogs including two white standard poodles died pink. What great fun, but for a serious cause.

It was the first time that we met Pat's family and it was instant love. No suprise since Pat is such a fantastic young man.

What a spectacular Mother's Day - being with people we love, celebrating wonderful survivors and fighting for a cure for cancer.

Happiness through those we love...

Good things...May means Mother's Day, graduations and races. Races??? When our friend's daughter won a highly competative college race a few weeks ago, Dan sent out a posting on the results and his joy. It is amazing how much happiness we have when those we love succeed.

Good people...our children. I know that I just posted about my daugher, Eliza, but she graduated this weekend, and like Dan, my joy knows no boundries at her success. Congratulations Eliza and to all college graduates this month.

Good times...sharing a moment with our families and friends to celebrate little or big milestones. Having Mother's Day and graduation celebrations this weekend - our cup runneth over.
