When Little Pink talked about “getting away to not think about what you’re going through,” I thought to myself, “yeah right” – but it really did happen!

I will forever cherish the time we spent at the retreat in St. John. It was a dream in so many ways and I think about it often because, honestly, the people, the places, and the activities were all remarkable. When Little Pink talked about “getting away to not think about what you’re going through,” I thought to myself, “yeah right” – but it really did happen! I was able to forget, get away from the overwhelming appointments, and not think about any treatments or whatever was going on with my health. I was able to have the freedom to live, like…really live in the moment alongside my amazing husband. I was extremely thankful to offer an opportunity for my husband to get away from all the stuff that comes along with cancer treatment, like caretaking and worrying. He, too, could just live! We had the chance to adventure together just like old times when we were dating, complete carefree, and to eat delicious food and truly live in the moment. I will cherish our time on that little island for the rest of my life.
