But, there is strength in numbers and in sharing your story. My high school friend, who lost her dad. Another high school friend who lost her husband... and on and on...
We were pleasantly surprised at the turnout for Team Shannon. My brother Eric, Dan's brother Tim and wife Suzi, Shannon's friend, our friends, and Erin's best bud, Emily came even though Erin wasn't there. How cool is that? It's a day of community, gathering together to support those who are battling and to remember those we have lost.
Dan did a great job emceeing and we left there feeling that we had made some connections and helped the cause. Thanks to all who came out.
After a quick lunch, then it was off to catch the last three matches of the volleyball tournament. Erin's JV ran the table, winning the tourney be defeating a tough Century team in the championship. It's a fun group of girls and a fun group of parents. We are all lucky.
By all measures, yesterday was a good day. We honored Shannon, we cheered on Erin, we visited with family and friends. Tomorrow, Dan is off to visit his aging parents. Another week begins. That's life. The beat goes on...
