October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. My mom died of cancer August 31, 1997. You may remember that day well as Lady Diana Spencer also died that day in a horrific car crash. Those 24 hours were a day of hell for my family.
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 15 years earlier. She had a mastectomy and then her health was good for 12 years. It was then discovered that she had ovarian cancer. She passed away after a courageous fight for almost 3 years. There is not a day goes by that I don't think of her. Sometimes while driving, a song will come on the radio that will bring it all back and I will start to cry. Still, to this day,
I miss her a lot. It will always hurt, I guess.
I have my annual examination and a mammogram regularly. I hope that it is the right thing to do. I try daily to fill the space around me with things I love. I don't take my days for granted.
Let's look at kittens and have some coffee, shall we...
"Good Mornin' everyone"
While Annie was having her breakfast, these three decided to rough-house.
Bree figures she won this round.
So that is a typical morning for this family. Now that they are taken care of, I can enjoy my breakfast. Coffee has never tasted so good.
hugs, Deb
(ps...daughter is having a BLAST.
mom...not so much)
