Karen, I couldn't agree with you more. We are a unique "breed" as it were. Haha! We are "sisters" and "brothers," who share a common bond. Breast cancer. Breast cancer has taught me much......much of it good. In all honesty, I wouldn't change a thing about my life. It's all been for a reason and I am a better woman because of it. However, even though I wouldn't change a day of it, I would change the fact that many struggle, suffer and die because of the horrific disease. That makes me sad. Missing those we love and cherish...that makes me sad! So, we hang onto one another and cherish each day we are given. We support one another....encourage one another....build each other up......cry together.....laugh together and never forget what brought us here. Never forget that our lives are a gift and a gift we should use to bring hope to a hurting world.
