My nephew is here this evening. He just graduated, packed up his things and decided to head out to Colorado. His car is stuffed to the brim and he is so excited and ready to start his new life. He is stopping by and spending the night or maybe even two days before he makes his way. We have been talking all night laughing about silly things and listening to his dreams of snowboarding a huge passion for him and how he would love to find the perfect job to keep him funded while he is out there.
His first stop was Louisville visiting his Grandmother (my Mom) and little did he realize he also became a courier of passing the envelopes she and her team completed and now while my nephew and I are catching up I am busy stuffing the delivered envelopes for our next round of "Ask" letters. I was letting him know that I believe this campaign can make a difference and every dollar can help. I told him I just didn't want to see another life lost from blood cancer. That every 10 minutes we lose someone to this devastating disease and we just need to find a cure. I told him about Tressa our honoree and what a wonderful brave soul she was and we can't let this happen again. He then pulled out his wallet and handed me a donation so he too could help. I couldn't help but smile. I immediately put it in one of the envelopes so we can send it in to the campaign.
Yes I think if I could just talk and keep talking to people as they pass on through we can all make a difference $1.00 at a time.
