Dave
dropped me off and started his long journey back to Soquel for work. I walked
around a bit, checking things out, while I waited to hear from Saundra and
Pina. There were only a few people in line so I took the opportunity for a pic
in front of the Opening Ceremony banner:
(Note
the missing boa. I accidently left it in the truck when Dave dropped me off. I
felt totally naked without my boa so I stood in line for nearly half an hour to
buy a new one. Then I sent Dave a text telling him that since the boa was with
him, he needed to wear it for the day in my behalf.)
Opening
Ceremony began just as the sun was coming up
The
flag ceremony is always very emotional for me. As each of the flags passes by,
I cannot help but think of the women they represent, both in my life and in the
lives of so many, many others. This was my fourth 3Day Walk and with each year,
my commitment becomes stronger, my resolve to see this thing through becomes
deeper, the scope of my mission grows.
(And
finally, for my fourth Walk, I remembered to pack Kleenex in my fanny pack!!!)
And
the flag with the names of all of those who we have lost to breast cancer is
raised in the middle of the Survivors Circle
