Monday’s Mother’s Day event was special for Shanetra Wilson. She is a Stage IV breast cancer survivor and almost didn’t make it to this day. She said it was an opportunity to take a breath and enjoy the moment. 

“It’s a perfect opportunity to take a breather for yourself,” she said. “Today is about us. Myself and other women - we don’t get many days that are just about us. Where we are not worried about what has to be done at the household, or with the kids. It’s a nice breather.”
