I want to remind you that for many the cause is never forgotten.
When most of the world puts away their pink ribbons
there are those of us who don't need a reminder or a month set aside for awareness.
We remember...
those that have fought to save their life,
who live to tell their story.
We honor those who fought just as hard,
who have left a legacy of courage and strength
with their survivors.
Breast Cancer has many faces.
Breast Cancer has a name
she is a daughter, sister,
wife, mother, grandmother and friend.
As October comes and goes
I encourage you to remember
the challenges,
the struggles
but mostly remember
there is work left to be done.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you lost Vickie, sorry we all lost her.
My children loved being with you today...thank you bunches!
Every day is a Blessing. :)
ReplyDeleteA month or so ago I wondered into what used to be one of my favorite coffee shops. It is now a wig/jewelery/supportive women's space for cancer survivors. I thought of you and Vickie. The women in the store were of three generations, no four....the youngest was a mom with her baby girl. And it filled me with gratitude for all the women in my life. Love you. Jenn
ReplyDeleteThank you for that. My mom had breast cancer and is a survivor, I thank God for her!
