Special Day

Today, Otober 2, is Livestrong Day!
Me would likes to dedicate this post to all those that are fighting and have fought against that horrible disease, generically called "Cancer".

Me remembers:
Mine mommy's mommy, Mine mommy's daddy's mommy, Mine mommy's friends what was wif her when her was sick. To our friends Sarge who passed last year,  and our friend Poppy Vic whose recent death is a fresh wound to those that loves him.

We pray for those that have passed, and those that fight on, including Auntie Judi.

Livestrong!

Ann of Zoolatry makes this fur us, isn't it great?

Today is a day of celebration and memory.  Our mommy's life has been up-lifted,crushed and forever changed because of cancer. For 3 years she ran 3 cancer support groups on-line back when AOL was the main way to chat.  Her groups were for children with cancer, young adults with cancer and a group for the parents of children with cancer. The groups were attended by hundreds each week.  She also did intervention support for several local hospitals who would ask her to speak to young patients that were having troubles.

During that time she saw unnatural empathy and amazing bravery from the young warriors in her  world.  Their comedic antics could fill volumes. Their ability to suck every minute out of a good day was amazing.  The lengths they went to make situations better for their families would break your heart. They were Living Strong before there was a term for it.

For all those young warriors, we give thanks fur their contribution to all our lives.

We would like to thanks Ann of Zoolatry and Jan, Milo and Alfie's Mom fur giving us this opportunity to remember openly.

Mommy's memberances.
