Will be burying my aunt tomorrow who has succumbed to a VERY long battle which began with breast cancer. Sweet dear has suffered over 15 years for sure.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month........puleez......be aware of how we can help ourselves, self exams, check ups, mammograms!!!!!!
I ask for your thoughts and prayers for her and ALL that have suffered and lost AND MORE SO for the many who still battle the fight!!

AMEN, Edna! My mother is a 17 year survivor...we spend every summer spearheading our local Relay for Life- last time our tiny little burg raised $31,000! Mom lights a candle at the Susan G. Komen Survivors' luncheon each year, and I see women, younger than me, older than me, older than my mom, who are fighting this battle...it brings me to my knees every year.
With that said, I must send you my condolences for our aun....I'm so sorry such a hard battle was lost, but I hope she is at peace.
Take good care of yourself, Edna, and thanks for the reminder.
Oh, and boys, please remember- you, too are at risk for breast cancer.
