Mommy walked the Grand Rapids Half Marathon (with Ellen and Amy) and was so happy to see my dad, Joyce, Scott, kids, and Angie cheering us on at about mile 8 - I think. Really needed it then!
Near the finish line I was so incredibly happy to see Scott and Olivia & Ethan! I took my kids along with me for the last few yards. They were my strength - I honestly don't know if I would have crossed the finish line without them. It was so encouraging to hear "Way to go Mom!" from strangers as we walked. I was proud of myself and I think my kids were proud of me too - Scott was that is for sure.
