Despite not taking my medication and the store being busier than ever ... I had a pretty good night.

A while ago Lisa and I were talking upstairs about how my family had to pay $2100 for a piece of equipment that my sister needed, or else we would not be able to have a nursing staff at my house. Lisa went to a manager and told him of this soon later they were organizing different events to raise money. A long time had passed and I didn't know what to think about not hearing anything from them ... and then tonight happened. Dan called an evening meeting rather early tonight and during it I was half in my own little world and dancing with Roxanne. Then Dan spoke about how they had been working earlier on to raise money and that Wal-Mart co matched what they raised. He then asked me to explain to everyone about why they were doing it and what they did ... Then Dan presented me with a cheque for $2084, I shook his hand and took it from him while everyone clapped. Then I looked and around and said thank you ... and went to make a speech about how much it meant ... and I started to cry and could basically only spit out another couple thank yous. Everyone smiled and a few people looked like they were going to cry ... then we were dismissed and I ran to the front door before Lisa could leave and I gave her a hug and showed her the cheque. I went upstairs and everyone was all happy for me and I just kept having tears swell in my eyes ... I just want to say thank you to EVERYONE ... everyone that supports me each and every day ... thank you for being a part of my life.
