Joyful Occasion

Kyllan and I were in Jacksonville this past weekend to help my mother celebrate 5 years of cancer survival. My mother enjoys 3 things in life: family, friends and dancing, and that is exactly how she decided to mark the occasion. Everyone in attendance at the “Pink Party” was someone that reached out to her or provided solace while she was receiving treatment. Food, live music, champagne toast, a dance tribute by two little kids (making an encore performance from the wedding) and something called the “pink ribbon dance,” which I am pretty sure was a Betty original, made it an event to be remembered. As always, pictures can be found on my Flickr. (There was a photographer at the event, so I didn’t capture everything. Hopefully there will be more photos to come.)

  1. What a beautiful thing to celebrate! My mom’s a 40-year survivor and I still swell with pride when I hear of other survivors!

  2. What a great way to celebrate such an amazing woman who has been such a blessing to so many others. It looks like it was a lot of fun…thank you for sharing the pictures!
