Realisation

I just screamed when watching the Thor 2 trailer. I'm a fangirl. Shit. #TeamSif

[aenigmaticdays]

Excerpt from an interview with Jaimie Alexander who plays Sif: "...[Sif] really, really loves Thor -- as a comrade, as a warrior and as the future king of Asgard -- but also as a man. So I think it’s very hard for her to see that he still has feelings for this other person. But you really get to see how much she loves him because she does end up sacrificing a lot."

Am I the only one who really, really feels for Sif? There has been so much talk about the Thor and Jane reunion that there's a woman here who's forgotten.

A week ago, a little over 15 family members came out to walk with "Team S.i.F." ("Strength in Family") to honor my dad's fight against cancer.  We also recognized other members in the family that were survivors and those we've lost in the Delphos, Ohio Relay for Life (benefiting the American Cancer Society). 

Team S.i.F raised over $12,000 for cancer support for a rural NW Ohio community.  The overall event raised roughly $90,000.  All of the money raised stays locally to help research and fund patient advocates. 

We were also blessed/humbled to learn that dad was selected as the honorary male chair for the event!  The amount of support from family, friends, and the community has helped lift dad's spirits over the last few difficult months -- THANK YOU to everyone that helped honor/support our team!!!

QUICK FACT: Did you know that the American Cancer Society has provided seed money to over 46 researchers that have gone on to win Nobel Prizes for Cancer related research? 

The song used for the video ("More Time" by Needtobreathe) is from the movie "P.S. I Love You" - where a man is taken too soon from his wife.  It talks about wanting more time to say/do what they want before the end.   Relay for Life helps provide that extra time for families like ours.

A "Coming Out" of sorts...

Saturday, March 23, 2013

Friends,

Today marks the day where I have made a decision to publicly talk about something that has affected my family since roughly the start of the new year --- CANCER.

Early in 2013, my father, the man that is responsible for making me the man I am today --- The man that taught me to love unconditionally, judge sparingly, help often, work hard, strive for perfection in what you do, laugh, and learn something new EVERY day --- was diagnosed with Stage III Pancreatic Cancer. 

You might be surprised to learn that with as MUCH as I post on social media, certain things are usually off limits - relationships and family are two of those that fall into the "off limits" category!  I do not like sharing personal details as I believe certain things should be kept private - so that the bond of a relationship has value. 

BUT... in an attempt to focus on positives and not potential outcomes, my brother/sister-in-law, and nephews decided to go public with the news of my father's cancer diagnosis.  WHY? ...to focus on supporting dad and others fighting cancer. 

With the news, we decided to create Team SiF - "Strength in Family" --- for the Delphos, Ohio Relay for Life - coming up in June of 2013!  Our goal as a team? ... raise $30,000 for local cancer support for a rural, socioeconomically depressed area.  $30,000 in Delphos, Ohio would go SO far in helping the lives of many! 

Can YOU help?  Can you donate $100 or more (or less if you're not able to do $100)?  Every dollar will help us reach toward our goal!  You can honor someone in YOUR life that has fought cancer - whether they won and are in remission, or still fighting, or you have lost but are forever in your memory. 

EVERY dollar is a 100% tax deductible contribution!  Donations can be accepted on my personal fundraising page or via cash/check.  Receipts are automatically issued for those donations made on-line. 

I hope you might help us make a statement to my dad that there are others out there who understand and have been through the fight against cancer - and who love life and those that make this world a better place.
