Today the kids, some friends and I attended the Revlon Cancer Walk. This was a 5k walk around the USC area. Seeing so many whose lives have been affected by this disease was really touching and made for very emotional day. In addition to the personal loss I've experienced from this disease, about a week ago I found out that both my uncle and aunt have been diagnosed with cancer. So the children walked in support of my uncle and aunt, and I walked in memory of E. There were people of all ages, from very elderly walking with the aid of a cane to the very young riding in a stroller. The kids did a great job and were proud to be a part of the day too. There were people laughing, crying, rejoicing and reflecting. I did a little bit of of it all...as I'm sure most people did. It was hard not too...emotions can be complex that way. It was a beautiful, moving, inspiring, touching event and I am very happy that I was a part of it.

Afterwards we attended a friend's barbecue with was fun. I should probably have a get together soon myself. I've been really fortunate to have met some wonderful people in LA, it would be nice to celebrate them :)
