Pink In Honor Of Breast Cancer Patients

It is hard to believe that October is already upon us.  We awoke yesterday to the first day of October and the weather was appropriate for fall.   It was very cool in the morning and I had to wear a coat as I ventured out.  The leaves are all turning colors now and starting to fall.  September quickly exited and so did our warm weather.  I am going to try and enjoy as much time outside as possible before the snow starts to fall.

 Today is partly sunny and a little warmer and we are getting psyched up for The Light The Night with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  Thank you to all the employees that work with my husband for their generous donations.  You bring a smile and hope to all blood cancer patients.  We are suppose to have a beautiful evening for the walk.  My husband and I are excited as we will be joined on the walk by our daughter and son-in-law.

Least we not forget that October is breast cancer awareness month.  In honor of all who have battled breast cancer and those who have lost the battle, I am wearing something pink everyday.  My mother-in-law passed away in 2006 from breast cancer.  I thank God every day for the color pink.  It is my favorite color, and I will be proud to wear it every day to bring awareness to breast cancer. Please remember to get your mammograms.  If you can donate to cancer research so we can win the battle with cancer.

It is a sad week for my husband as he has lost a friend and co-worker to cancer. It is another reminder that we all need to keep donating to cancer research.   Our love and prayers go to his family.  He will be greatly missed by us, as he was an uplifting inspiration to my husband through all of his cancer treatment over the past three years.   He corresponded with my husband through e-mails while we lived in Texas going through chemotherapy.   His e-mails always brought a smile to my husband's face.  He will not be forgotten by our family, but honored as a hero who fought a great battle.  R.I.P.

I'll end this blog today with a plea to all to donate to cancer research and challenge you to wear pink for all the breast cancer patients.   No matter what kind of cancer people have it is frightening and anything that we can do to help will make a difference.  I am posting a picture today of something that has brought a smile to my face through the cancer journey with my husband.  Hope it makes you smile.   God Bless You All !!

 Life is beautiful!!
