We Walk, Cancer Runs!

Light the Night Walk 2013.  Quite the emotional night for the Olson family.  This year we participated, carrying gold balloons, and we were all very aware that we had gold and not white...  We attended the Remembrance Ceremony with heavy hearts and we all had the opportunity to add a flower in the vases representing our relationship with Linda (mother, daughter, aunt, Nama etc).  
We will continue to do our part, raising awareness and supporting cancer patients.  This summer Charlie and our niece Karlie raised money by selling homemade bookmarks, cookies, and lemonade.  We are so proud of both of them!
Before the walk, we were able to celebrate Max and Lincoln's bday with Aunt Emily, Uncle JP, and cousins at Pizza Luce.  It was a great way to start the night.

Gardening gloves and pjs for the boys.
Being in the garden reminds the boys of Nama and her flowers

We submitted Linda's picture for the photo show before the walk.
Seeing the picture appear brought tears to my eyes immediately.  
We miss you Nama so much!

Gold balloons for those we have lost.
Red balloons for supporters.
White balloons for survivors.

We will never forget your fight.  We will never forget your love.  We will never forget...
