I will not be participating in the Relay for Life this year. There is a part of me that wants to apologize for this. But, if you could call me on the phone, I know what you would tell me.
You would say,
"Kerry, you can do the Relay for Life another year. Right now, you just need to take care of yourself. Please, you have been through so much in the last couple years. Just get a good night rest, pack your things tomorrow, and get ready for going to the cabin. Go and have a fun. And, when you walk down Camp Highland Road, think of me. I will be with you."
There may not be a luminary with your name on in at the Relay for Life this year, Mom. But, a light like yours will never burn out. I carry it with me, always.
Kerry
