Cheerleaders

I had my siblings and nephews and nieces over the other night. We worked on an honouree board for the Team In Training pasta party and tent. We put together pictures of my Mom and my Mom and us and my Mom and her sisters and my Mom and her parents and my Mom and Dad and had words to describe what and who Mom is to us and everyone who knows her.

Here are some words we chose:
Strong
Brave
Spiritual
Admirable
Fun-loving
Friendly
Honourable
Positive
Faithful

I found that these words aren’t just who she is, but what she has made us. Even without her being here, she has made us just like her. Those of us who were old enough to have learned something from her taught those of us who were still too young to understand. She’d be proud of that.

This weekend, I’m excited to have such a huge support team to cheer for me and TNT as we run kilometers and kilometers for such a wonderful cause. I know that I really am going to cross that finish line because I have their love all the time. It goes without saying.

I’m excited to have my parents cheering for me too. They’re not always able to make it to these crazy things I do, but I’m totally looking forward to seeing them carry signs, clapping, pumping fists, and all that other stuff.

Sunday’s going to be one of the best days of my life.

As my reward, after the marathon the TNT victory party, then a baby shower, I’ll be heading down to the Janet Jackson Rock Witchu concert, which I’ve been looking forward to for years. I’ve wanted to see her in concert since my cousins and sisters were raving about her years ago. I’ll keep enough energy in my legs to jump up and down when she gets on stage!
