Pausing the "fun" factor on my blog for a minute...I'm thinking about my Aunt Jeanie today....she was one of the most AMAZING people on the planet. I love her dearly and think of her almost daily it seems. She had a huge impact on my life. She passed away just a few months ago after a horrible and painful battle with bone cancer. It was very very traumatic. This month she would have celebrated another birthday...on December 23rd. I hate that she isn't here to celebrate :( I also just found out that my dear sweet grandmother has colon cancer. It seems like cancer is just everywhere and its truly a scary thing. I don't think any of us haven't been affected by this horrible disease. I'm grateful for the foundations out there that continue cancer research so that hopefully, someday, we'll finally have a cure. Because, well, I hate cancer. I really do.

I hate cancer too Holly. HOpefully one day we will be able to cure all types of cancer. I don't think anyone alive today has been unaffected by it. We all know someone that we love who has been stolen from us prematurely by this horrible disease. ((((hugs)))) xxoo
ReplyDeleteI hear ya, girl. My Grandma died the day after Christmas last year and I still have mixed feelings. Sometimes it seems like she's just been on a long vacation and I'll see her at the next family function. And then there's the sting of needing to ask her about a recipe or wanting to call and share with her something exciting that's happened. Someday. Sometimes at night when I'm waiting to fall asleep I talk to her in my mind and I like to think she still listens.
ReplyDeleteIn case you hadn't heard Glenn talked about this new possible treatment he's raising money for and thought you might want to read about it:

I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I hope that they found it in time to get rid of it. I am sending my love. If you send me her name, I will put it in our temple. My prayers will be with you and your grandmother. Hugs, Lura
