Aryon · 03-02-2013, 08:31 AM

I'm Aryon and I'd like to take a few moments of your time to tell you why I relay.

This time last year I was giving thanks for second chances. I had been a survivor and a caregiver. Later on in the relay season, July 4th to be precise, another reason was added.
I was told I faced the battle again, the journey from laughter and light into darkness and tears and hopefully back out again.

This year I am relaying as a caregiver and two time survivor and I am not only relaying for those who face the rocky path through the darkness, but for those who care for them. Be they friends, work-mates or family. I am relaying for each person that said prayers and held me in their thoughts as I traveled my path.

Relay For Life, because of life, because you love.

"When there is oppression, the only self-respecting thing is to rise and say this shall cease today, because my right is justice."

JAGG · 03-02-2013, 09:42 AM

I got this poem in a book I was reading I really loved it.

All Is Well - Henry Scott Holland

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away into the next room,
I am I, and you are you,
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still,
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the same easy way which you always did,
Put no difference into your tone;
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect, without the shadow of a ghost on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity,
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am just waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.

Henry Scott Holland

The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others. - Sonya Friedman

Kobi · 03-02-2013, 02:19 PM

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.

~Emil Ludwig
