Her race was BRILLIANT

Taking a little break to update....
I always think pictures speak louder than words...
So...










The hardest thing for me
was that a part of me still expected to see Alex come around the bend....

I do know that she was proud of us that day...
Thank you all for your support. xe



***ETA---I should have said earlier, I did not make this amazing video. It was passed on to me by a dear friend, who when she noticed that Alex was in it thought I might like to see.

sitting here crying...
so amazed and moved by what you and gabby (and your family) are doing to fight for all these people who don't know how to fight for themselves.
