An Evening on the Pink Carpet

The whole point of our road trip to Florida was to support a Breast Cancer Awareness fashion show starring breast cancer survivors, including my mom. Here's she is strutting her stuff in this gorgeous day dress with peep-toe heels. Along with Derrick and I, my grandmother, 2 aunts, my best friend, mom's boyfriend and another friend of the family came out. We had quite the little cheering section. We did lots of hooting and hollering!

  

Here's Mom in a gorgeous black and white day dress with black peep-toe shoes. Strut it Mom!

After intermission, Mom came out in a glamorous low cut evening dress. Kudos to her for being confident enough to show her new cleavage!

 

Applause to all the ladies who participated and have found a new sense of confidence and purpose. They were all beautiful with amazing stories of survival!

 

Oh, and I ran up on stage during the finale and gave mom a bouquet of 16 sunflowers, one for every year she has had to endure this disease. And now it is finally, finally over! Cheers to a brighter future.

Here she is the star of her own show, my mom, Natalie Atwood!

Look at her gettin' sassy!

I am so proud of your courage to put yourself out there. What a great way to send a farewell to everything you've been through. Way to go Mom. I love you!
