For all my sisters whom I am so proud of.
Breast cancer
No one asked for it.
No one wants to hear they have it.
But it is amazing when we get it how deeply we hate it.
Enough so that it brings out the killer in us.
We cut it, we burn it we even poison it!
We deny it the foods and drink it loves to thrive on.
We jog and run it out to the curb.
Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose.
But we never give up…never!
