Just when you thought no one was looking...

Today I got a note on Facebook from a woman who also walked the 3 Day Walk this past September.  She found a photo of me on a mutual friends page that had me tagged in the photo.  Apparently she walked behind me the last 2 miles to closing ceremonies.  Just another 3 Day miracle.  I am so proud of my team and support crew, because I hear from people so many times how much they appreciated our energy. Also proud of my new friend who made it the last 2 miles.
Here is just a portion of her note:

"I walked out of the last Pit Stop on the waterfront, and you and your three friends were walking in front of me.  My feet felt like they were going to fall off and I had my head down and had no idea how I was going to make those last two miles to Closing Ceremonies, but then I started to listen to you and your friends talking, laughing, singing and then even dancing when your cheerleaders in the convertible came by.  Then another car came by - and then a Jeep.  You had a caravan! Then I noticed the sign on your back, and I think my jaw was permanently dropped for a good 3 blocks.  Tears streamed down my face as you asked your friend with her bandaged knees if she was okay, or if she wanted to rest a minute.  You gave high fives to people on the street and took off a pair of your pink beads around your neck and handed them to a little girl on the corner.  Suddenly I couldn't feel my feet, I didn't notice the sweat dripping down my back, all I could do was listen to you and your friends.  Thank you for getting me to the Closing Ceremony.  I know you didn't know you did - but you did.  I kicked myself for not introducing myself and telling you that I admired you.  Then I was looking at my friends photos online and saw your back with your sign on it.  I am so happy I now get to thank you.  You symbolized everything that I worked for to get to the 3 day, and to have you remind me why I did this in the last 2 miles was the perfect ending to an amazing weekend.  Your are gutsy and gorgeous.  You ooze positive energy and you were all SO present in the moment.  I hope that next year I will see you again, and I can introduce myself. "

This is what it's all about folks.  Such a perfect reminder that sometimes its the things you do when you think no one is looking that make the biggest impact.  My 3 Day tank is filled again.
