hiddenmuseI see so many people wearing them - among other bracelets, for other charities/causes (although some are merely to line 7-11's pockets) - I wonder, would it be rude of me to ask random people about their motivation behind wearing their respective bracelet(s)?
I have a Livestrong bracelet (finally), and I wear it as a tribute to my stepdad - he's a cancer survivor, going on 2 years in April. My whole family has (and wears) the bracelet for this reason. It reminds us that someone we know and love has kicked cancer's ass. It reminds me that there have been others before him that haven't been as fortunate - and many that will follow, and also kick cancer's ass.
Sure, it may seem simple, but it reminds me to be thankful, and to count my blessings whenever possible. Because, somewhere, someone else's family may not be as fortunate as mine has been.
