HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM


One year ago today you called my cell phone crying and told me you had cancer. Statistically they told you that only 1 in 5 people with lung cancer would live a year from the date of diagnosis. You immediately said that you would be the one, and nobody is surprised to see that you are here today to talk about it. Attitude is everything. Your desire to be alive and an abundance of love is why you are battling this disease head on. Statistics can't measure love. Here's to another happy and healthy year.

Hugs and Kisses-
Amy

Congrats on all the positives that have come from your life changing news last year. It has been a short time and a long time ago. In the last year many other family, friends and aquaintances have received similar life changing news. I can only hope that they have similar love and support of family, friends and community to help them survive and thrive. Here's to you and yours and how much they and you have helped all people who suffer this *#*/*?* disease. To all of you who faithfully read this blog: please continue to support research for cures for all types of cancer.

Love you, Karen
