The Breast and the Beast


For You....My Dear, Sweet Friend

(and you know who you are...)

I am declaring today a "Breast Cancer Awareness Day" in honor of one of my dearest friends.


She got the news yesterday that no one wants to hear.
She will overcome....she is strong....she caught it early.....she did her mammograms.....
she is overwhelmed.


Please....to all my friends here, female (AND male, because you have wives, daughters, sisters, mothers, and others), go to the phone and make that mammogram appointment. I did. Mine's overdue. Is yours?

Don't put it off. I realize there are other methods of detection. There is ultrasound, thermography, even MRI. But like the Nike commercial says, "Just Do It." Do something. Do your self-exam. But just don't pretend you don't have breasts and they don't need your attention. You don't want them to remind you.


When this is over and you are healed....

And you will be....

We will fly the flags and celebrate.....

As only we can.


I'm here....always will be.....as you have always been for me. I'm asking for prayer on your behalf and there are lots of wonderful people here who will lift you up.
