.: Let Them Be Little

It was an event like any other. One that could and would bring a tear to anyones eye. I couldn't believe I was there... I have been to MANY walks for all types of diseases and even participated in a few. Walking for and with those battling horrific diseases. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would be walking to find a cure for my very own precious boy. Never in a million years would I have thought I would be the one setting up fundraising pages, asking for donations and asking for kindness from strangers in the hopes of finding a cure for my very own child. Never. As we walked onto the scene of our very first Telus Walk for A Cure, I had to fight back tears that threatened to fall and an emotion so forceful it gripped my throat and threatened to shake me to the core. My precious boy, green hair and all was already making people laugh and smile as he strutted his stuff, green mohawk and all. As teams began to arrive I stood in awe of the support of the city. I couldn't pass up the thought that these people are like us. Most have been battling for alot longer, but they are here, also walking with and for their children. As we walked the laps, and saw the other kids who were "like" my son, all I kept thinking and praying was " please, let them be little" a song that has been stuck in my mind for days. An overwhelming sense of support through donations helped us raise $2000.00 for our Hudson's Hulks team. The top team in the City of Lethbridge. Too bad though, at the end of our "race" as Hudson thought it was, as we passed the finished line , there wasn't a cure handed out.. instead it was free pizza.
