This past weekend most of us celebrated the Memorial Day thing. Some had a long weekend. Some enjoyed the outdoor life. Most thought of someone special. I did the visit to the cemetary to show some love to my sis. I know she knows I still think of her lots. To you, Carol..my beautiful 'lil sis..I'll see you again one day.
I also called a friend to check up on her. She has breast cancer. Just wanted her to know that I was thinking about her and family.
As usual, she, the hubby and I had good conversation. They are good people..and I love them dearly. What continues to blow me away is her strength. To go through this illness and not stress out like I do, over a paper cut, cracks me up. She knows it..and of course calls me a sissy. I can live with that..from her. To sum up our conversation..this basically is her thinking. I'm paraphrasing..
"This Memorial Day weekend is a good time to celebrate surviving. It marks the start of another great summer season that usually involves holidays and fun, and it is already a day off from work and the daily routine."The daily routine??? HEY YOU..you are my hero. With that said..I know you're aware of this..but I wanted to post it..thinking of you..and any other person going through this illness. There may be hope for a cure.

Guys..it's catholic picnic season. I hope to see you guys..drink and laugh..and I'll even let YOU make fun of me. However..when YOU officially kick this thing...YOU'RE ASS is mine! :-)
Here's hope to all with this dreaded disease. God bless.
Peace out my HALEYUNNS!
Kevin, I enjoyed reading your blog! Thank you for your support to those with breast cancer. It's a fear,every woman has to live with.I hope that you are right, in that they are close to a cure!Bless YOU!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you lost your sister. I know that she is with you all of the time!Thanks for the friend request!! Take care!
Thank you, Kevin for sharing. I had no idea about your sister. I am so sorry. That there might be a way to prevent breast cancer in the post-breasfeeding population is wonderful. Now they need to get to work on something for the younger women. I know they often get a much more aggressive type of cancer. Thinking of you, Jennifee (Kim's sister) and my cousin Rachael. Rachael's cancer was found when she was 6 months pregnant. Her son is two now and she is, thankfully, cancer free. But every follow-up visit to the MD is scarey.
