I thought about your friend on Saturday. I had gone into my second job to get some work done, and realized they had the 5th annual 5k for breast cancer so I went out to watch the race start.
It's always an emotional thing for me...though it's fun I get a bit melancholy for a second as I listen to the people who speak before the race, my mom being a breast cancer survivor.
A woman who is currently battling breast cancer spoke, and said that her license plate says "Thriver." Good for her.
I hope your friend feels better soon, monster.
