Perfectly Pink


I realize that most everyone in the FREE world has noticed that there
is Pink all over the place this month...

BUT... to many of us... IT is so much more than just an AMAZING color.
It is a symbol to everyone out there to be aware of Cancer.
Pink takes the face of something so UGLY
and reminds us all that there
can be beauty in it's CURE..

My mother was first diagnosed with Cancer while she was still in her 20's.

I don't remember much about it because I was just a little girl.
I do however remember the scar she came home with.

This was back before Chemo was used, and I don't remember anyone ever even talking about radiation or any of the treatments so widely used today...

I just remember my Granny saying "they had to get it ALL"... And that THEY DID...

Today I never even notice Mom's scar.... but I notice every single day that she is ALIVE...

May we all know that there is no treasure like our Mother!

I dont think there is any one I know who DOESN'T have a friend or family member who has been affected by cancer.
