Cancerversary Chuckle
Congrats to Donna D and Lexigirl. It really is nice when these anniversaries roll around. We can all be so happy, even tho we do get scared sometimes. Here is my little chuckle. 2 years ago on Sept 20, I was still groggy from my Double Mast. With my sisters and 2 nieces and my husband in the hospital room, the cell phone rings.....our other niece in Minneapolis is on her way to the hospital to have her first baby. So as Johanna turns 2, I can think to myself, okay these little boobs have been gone for 2 years and it is okay. I love my prosthesis. Even when my older-aged brain forgets the dates....I can always have my little secret way of remembering.
Hugs and love to all , Catherine
PS. I, too, love our community and sister/brotherhood that we have.
