Celebration Aboard the Oosterdam


I attended a survivor brunch aboard the Holland America Oosterdam cruise ship yesterday. It was a nice afternoon (wine with lunch - always a bonus) with friends and YSC sisters. It was also a nice PR event for Komen and Holland America. Picture an entire dining room packed full of survivors. It feels a little odd to be honored in this manner. The ship is all decked out in pink. Pink balloons everywhere. Everyone is wearing pink, including me. There was even pink champagne at the end. Rah-Rah survivors... looking around the room I thought to myself... I wonder if half of us will make it. Are we really survivors? Aren't we really fighters?
