Wordy Wednesday - Relay For Life

This is my Uncle Sean. He is mommy's little brother. Although he isn't so little anymore.

Uncle Sean is awesome in a lot of ways. He is an honor student in all honors/advanced placement classes. He is on his school's swim team. He plays the viola in his school's orchestra. He is a member of the Beta Club. He loves furries. And what is making him yet even more awesome is that he is participating in Relay For Life this year! How super awesome is that?


I know many of us and our beans have had our lives touched by cancer. Even now, our friends Storm and Rascal are battling lymphoma. That is why knowing that Uncle Sean is doing something to raise money for cancer research means so much to me. Uncle Sean sent out an email letting everyone know what he was doing, and how they can help.

Dear Family and Friends,

I've decided to take action against cancer by participating in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life® event right here in my community. Relay For Life® is about celebration, remembrance, and hope. By participating, I am honoring cancer survivors, paying tribute to the lives we've lost to the disease, and raising money to help fight it. Please help support me in this important cause by making a donation. It is faster and easier than ever to support me by making a secure, tax-deductible donation online using the link below. If you would prefer, you can send your contribution to the mailing address listed below.Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up! I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Sincerely,

Sean

Tybalt the Space Kitty!

Thanks to MoMo for suggesting that we all turn into space kitties today to celebrate the shuttle launch! I decided to try and play around with paint last night, and here is what I managed to come up with.

I am a spacey alien mancat!

On a more serious note, several kitties that we all know and love are going through hard times, as are their bean parents. I wanted to take a moment to let all of you kitties know how much we all care about you, and that you are in our prayers. We are all purring very hard for you. Special purrs and headbutts go out to Icon's sister Chloe, who they discovered just yesterday is very ill with secondary viremia Feline Leukemia Virus. My mommy lost a special kitty to Feline Leukemia when she was a child, so mommy's eyes have been leaking lots for Chloe and her family.

I was listening to the radio with my mommy yesterday and this song by Pink came on . . . "Who Knew?" Parts of the song reminded me and mommy of all the special kitties who have gone over the bridge, and we wanted to share it with you today. Here is an excerpt from the song.

I'll keep you locked in my head

Until we meet again

I won't forget you my friend

What happened. . . ?

That last kiss

I'll cherish

Until we meet again

And time makes it harder

I wish I could remember

But I keep your memory

You visit me in my sleep

My darling

Who knew?

My darling

I miss you

My darling

Who knew?
