My family and I are no stranger to cancer. when I was a junior in high school cancer knocked on our door and took my grandma who lived with us my whole life. I was devestated and hurt and sad and angry really angry.. My mom was never the same again. So in alot of ways cancer not only took my grandma it took our whole family.. we were never the same again. AND then after I had my baby girl my great uncle, my grandma's brother, (and I should say here that all of my grandma's brothers and sisters everyone except for two died of cancer around the same time) came down with lung cancer. So Jordan, my daughter at the age of 2, had to deal with her great great uncles death to cancer. She had night terrors and ony being 2 asked for her great great uncle (whom she cherished and he cherished her) all the time.. At the age of 7 she will tell you she still dreams of her time spent with her great great uncle. I hate cancer and I pray every day that God will let a cure be found. A girl i went to college with lost her 5 year old baby girl to cancer, the little boy (whom we chose his brothers team to be on) from my baby girls school lost his baby brother to cancer, and now my best friends neice who is only in her early 20's is dealing with throat cancer and we pray every day that Amanda will be ok. she has a baby depending on her being ok. Amanda is a sweet girl and very kind and was there to help me deliver my baby boy and I can not imagine the world without her. When our families became friends she was just a little girl and she has always been apart of our lives as our families are more like family than friends. We are so very worried about her. My husband's aunt is battling breast cancer and my aunt, my dad's sister is in remission from breast cancer thank god. So as you can see cancer is huge in our family and sometimes I think we sit back and wait to see who will be next. The C word is very much apart of our family and I pray to god like i said before that a cure will be found one day and no other family will be affected.
