One Year Anniversary

I won't be near a computer for awhile and would feel ungrateful if I didn't mention that September 25th marks my one year anniversary of being cancer-free! What a year it has been. A new daughter-in-law and a new granddaughter were added to my wonderful family. I'm humbled by the blessings and want to thank my family and friends for their support. I love you all.

Here is the post the day I talked to the Dr. about a week after surgery:

10.02.2008

NO CANCER in LYMPH NODES =NO CHEMO!!!
Can I tell you what GREAT news this is...I am so humbled and thankful.

REMINDER: IF YOU'RE 50

OR OLDER AND HAVEN'T HAD ONE...

16 Years Ago

Thank you to my dear family for the beautiful white roses. Every year but one (we were out of town) for the past 16 years I have received a gorgeous bouquet of roses---usually white, but sometimes a pale pink. These roses are a reminder of our daughter and sister, Alison Elisabeth, who was born and died on Sept. 6th. My heart is deeply touched each year as you remember and express your feelings that Sept. 6th is a tender day for me and all of us. Leaving the hospital with empty arms was difficult, but I am thankful for the knowledge that Alison is part of our eternal family and is watching over us all. I love you!
