Moms Day Out-- NCCF

Last night was one of those night where you really didn't know what to expect and then you were blown away. I was picked for the Cancer Foundation Moms Day Out event. I really didn't know what to expect. I was told that the limo was going to pick us up at 11:30am and would drop us back off at 7pm and that we would be going to dinner. That's it! That is all I knew. I was hesitant to go.

11:30am We left the NCCF (Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation) in the Limo with a backpack full of pampering products for each cancer mom. That was our first gift. We were then greeted with roses and champagne (I passed on this one but the other girls were thrilled) by the butlers from the Cosmopolitan. We were escorted to the 61st floor and toured the penthouse that we would be using for the day. The penthouse was loaded with chocolates, roses and more champagne. Our favorite was the "butlers button". We were also given our itinerary for our services for the day. We spend the day in the spa getting our hair, makeup and nails done. Again, one of those times where you have no clue what to expect and you are blown away. It felt so good to just sit back and be pampered and made beautiful. I really enjoyed getting to know the other moms. We connect in so many ways. We have lived each others lives, fears and pain. Cancer moms are near to my heart, no one else know those darkest days.
After the spa/salon we chatted some more on the terrace overlooking the Las Vegas Strip from the penthouse. The views are spectacular. The penthouse was outstanding. For the day we were treated like the rich and the famous. It was a fun treat. We joked that we didn't know what to say, or how to act, but we faked it!

 The butlers showed up to escort us to the the STK steak house. Again, we were blown away by all the extras this hotel put on for us. Roses, centerpieces, personalized menus and a visit with the head chief. Lesly the "French Girl" was our ticket to an amazing meal who was able to get the chief to make it extra special. We cheered!  We Then were greeted by the Board Member from the Foundation who made this day possible with some fancy sock for the husbands and more chocolate! We are talking fancy chocolates.

Back in the limo headed home at about 9pm and not wanting the night to end. I'm so thankful for today. I was blown away by all that was put in for today for us cancer moms. I'm humbled and reminded that so many people do care and know this rough road we have all been on. We cried, we laughed and we united in our strength as cancer moms. Friends from life. We hope to have a reunion. Haha!
Thank YOU, Thank YOU! It never seems like enough. I felt spoiled, loved and beautiful. We laughed, cried shared our stories, and talked about how much better this felt than the hospital that we were all so use to. Last night I spend the evening with 5 strangers, who quickly became my friends. We had an amazing night.
