The other day I received a call from my dear friend Susan called me and told me that she had my t-shirt for the Relay. Naturally, I was excited, so I went to go pick it up. Since I am now considered a survivor (!!!), my shirt was purple. On the front was the official logo design for the 2013 Relay, saying (as it does every year) "Celebrate Remember Fight Back". I thought it was pretty cool. And then I turned the shirt around to see the back, and in big white letters, was the word "SURVIVOR". I can't even begin to say what seeing this image meant to me. I began crying again, as I am prone to do from time to time. I suppose I was overwhelmed with emotions from thinking of what I had gone through. I know, compared to others, I haven't really gone through all that much. But this journey is very real, and quite scary, to me. It's something that I hoped I would never have had to go through, but alas, here I am. A survivor, like the shirt says. This is an item I will treasure always.
