On April 24th, 2010, Troop Lucas walked their 6th March for Babies walk, on behalf of Lucas. It was a beautiful sunny day. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Ed's paternal side of the family (Linda, Laura, Kurt, Kelly and Logan) walked with us, along with a very close friend, Sandra and her family dog, Zeus. Last year I vowed that we would finish the walk before noon, and this year we finished the walk before 11am. Zeus, the 140+ lb mastif, got tired about half way through the walk. There were no volunteers for carrying the wee-lad, so Zeus got some well needed rest.
It is always so mesmerizing to see all the families touched by pre-term labor and infant loss. I saw one little girl who had a t-shirt on that said "I was 3lbs when I was born" and on the back it said "Look at me now". It was so great to see.
This year was especially touching for us. This was the first year that it seemed that Bodie understood (somewhat) what was going on. He has always asked about Ed's tattoo of Lucas' footprints, and we always tell him that they are his big brothers, who is an angel. So on our way to pick up Kelly and Logan Saturday morning, Bodie asked Ed where we were driving to. Ed told him that we were doing a special walk. Bodie immediately piped up and said "For my big brother right?" Ed looked at me and said "wow!". Later in the car, sitting next to his cousin, Logan, we heard Bodie explaining to Logan that we were going to a special walk for his big brother who got killed." I am pretty sure he thinks that Spiderman wasn't able to save his brother from Doctor Octopus. On the way home, he asked where his brother was and we told him he is an angel, up in heaven. The answer was good enough for him.
