And the picnic.... Yesterday we celebrated our friend Karen's remission with my high school buddies. Fourteen years ago we girls got together for another weekend get away. When we were younger we did that a lot. Karen was going through chemo but didn't miss the trip. She wore her blue hat and rested a lot but didn't miss anything. That was in May. On the way home, while laying down in the back of the van we rode down in, she told us she was going to have a Remission Picnic in July. Yesterday we celebrated her 14th Annual Remission Picnic. Unfortunately we did lose another friend this past year.... to cancer. The young one with the dark hair is her daughter. We're missing one other member of the group; she's still with us but had another commitment so couldn't make it to the picnic.
