Race for the Cure

The walk

All the Texas sisters were able to make it....Aunt Susie, Mama, And Aunt Phyllis


Drew and Andrea



Our group trying to stay warm....Mama, Drew, Aunt Phyllis, Aunt Susie, Me, Uncle Jack, Anne holding Courtney, and Andrea.




We lovingly remembered Aunt Margaret today as our family walked in the Race for the Cure. She's been gone from us for 5 months now and it still really doesn't seem real. I still hear her voice in my head and there are always little things that come up everyday that remind me of her....one of them being my Mom. They are alot alike in a alot of ways. BUT, one of the ways that they were very different is that Aunt Margaret was ALWAYS on time and Mama....not so much. BUT, Mama was the first to arrive at our house bright and early Saturday morning to head out for the walk. She said that she could not be late to this....and she wasn't! Here are some pictures of the COLD morning that we walked to hopefully one day find a cure to this beast we call cancer. AND, don't let that cane that Aunt Susie has fool you in the pictures....she was FAST! We couldn't keep up with her.



If you could spare a prayer, tomorrow morning our friend David is having surgery at St. David's hospital in Austin at 9 AM. Please pray specifically that his heart is doing what it is not supposed to do at the time of the surgery so the doctors can better fix the specific areas that need fixing. (I know that may sound wierd, but that's the scoop in a nutshell) xoxo
