Pink Party

Although I actually do not know too many women that have had breast cancer, I do know people that have truly been affecting by this horrible thing we call cancer.


Bev one of our Pastor's wives is a breast cancer survivor.



At a time where a girl should be thinking about marriage and college my friend Nikki lost her Mother to leukemia.

My brother in law lost his nephew Kenny this year who had a LONG battle and gave a good fight to leukemia.


Our niece Emily had leukemia at just three years old and thankfully is a strong healthy woman today and a true follower of Jesus Christ.

Both of my Mother & Father in law are cancer survivors.


My Mom had a scare several years back with a mass she had removed on her breast.
We are very blessed that news came back benign, but we had that awful feeling of "what if" and intensely waited while she was in surgery.

There are so many more who have survived or we have lost to cancer.
Please click HERE for more information and stories.

Sometimes we feel helpless and angry not knowing what to do. Lets keep hoping, fighting, running, raising money and most of all PRAYING for a cure.

So many wonderful people that you talked about. I hope they find a cure soon.

You are so right about that "what if" feeling. I had a mole removed from my belly a few years ago. The fear that I felt for those days until I heard that it wasn't anything life threatening was unforgettable.

Thank you for honoring those fighters in your life who have been touched by cancer. It's a great thing to help spread awareness. Thank you for joining Party in Pink!

By the way, I LOVE the picture of your little girl in her polka-dot raincoat.

My wife is a breast cancer survivor. I urge everyone to please please "Feel your boobies!" and don't hesitate to have anything you find unusual looked at by a doctor.

THE BLOGGERS PRAYER

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck,
manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly -
all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house
and take care of my family.
Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life.
And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
