This was the second year Kimberly and I participated in the Relay for Life.
My favorite thing about the Relay is the luminaries. One of the ways Relay raises funds to fight cancer is by selling these paper bags.
You pay $10 to be able to write on one or decorate it, then have it placed along the path of the walking track where the event is being held.
But up close they are even better, being able to read the
bags, looking at the pictures on them.
Sometimes they are in memory of a loved one who has died from cancer, while others are in honor of survivors.
Occasionally you'll come across one representing a child's life that has been lost.
It's very sad, but what a beautiful way to remember a loved one!
From a distance its beautiful, seeing all the lights together forming a path, and sometimes words of encouragement.
