Today I found out that my Uncle Wayne died on Monday. His memorial service is planned for this Friday (although I can't make it). Also on Monday I found out that my brother-in-law's mother died! Her funeral is tomorrow afternoon. My Uncle marks the 4th person in 3 weeks, and tomorrow's funeral will be my 3rd funeral in 3 weeks! This is crazy! I feel like telling God, "Enough is enough!". But, things don't happen on our timeline.
On a brighter note, the Relay For Life is Friday. We've been planning and preparing and raising money for several months and now the day is finally here! I'm excited, and hope the weather will obey and be good! It is threatening rain/storms later Friday night into Saturday morning. I am hoping to take many laps around the event this year. Wish us all luck! This year I will be walking in memory of Linda B., my friend who recently lost her battle with cancer.
On Saturday I am going to a Target reunion of sorts. It's with my old boss Terry (who has pancreatic cancer). He beat the cancer diagnosis of 6 months and so we're celebrating! Lots of people I used to work with will be there. I'm looking forward to it, but will be tired from being up all night on Friday!
Sunday and Monday are set aside to do nothing. Reflect on the events of the weekend and on those who we've lost recently. Make plans for my trip to Indiana over Labor Day and my trip to Seattle in October.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead!
