And... Nick went on to successfully finish his first Hood to Coast race!
I did not see Nick run his last leg, or cross the finish line. Instead, I waited at home with Jake, Carol, and Lilah. We decorated the house and made a gift basket (which included hand-designed t-shirts by Carol & fam) for celebrating.
Making Nick's t-shirt: His shirt has our hand-prints and written messages.
Lilah's shirt says "I'm Proud of my Daddy"
Opening the gift basket:
We didn't talk about what Hood to Coast represented to us. We didn't even try to think about it because we hope & feel our cancer story is in the past. But having Nick run Hood to Coast was emotional for both of us.
The decorated living room:

Nick -- we are proud of you and we love you!!
