This picture was taken in September, 2006 while

visiting my sweet Aunt back home in Arkansas.

 You can read about that visit here if you like,

Home Again.

 

Much has changed since that visit.

 

My dear Aunt has since lost most

of her eyesight and is in an assisted

living facility.

 

Little did I know that day, waiting for me

when we returned home would be a message

from the radiologist asking me to come in

for another look at a recent mammogram.

 

To make a very long story short, I had a

needle biopsy... the results were not good.

 I had surgery, followed by six months

of chemotherapy.

 

At that time, I couldn't imagine

ever feeling well enough to

walk a mile, much less a 5k race!

 

This weekend, three friends and I

walked the Susan G. Komen 5k

Race for the Cure held in Bossier City.

 

 

 

The two of us who are survivors

and our two precious

friends & supporters joined with

 about four thousand

other folks seeking a cure.

 

We never know what tomorrow

will bring, but God does and

walks through that day with us.

 

 I've learned to cherish the time spent

with family and friends, knowing

we may never pass this "same way" again.

 

I am thankful for each morning and for

sweet friends who bless me just by

their presence. We had a blast!

 

I didn't make it to the cotton patch

last week....still on my list of things to do.

 

'til next time............
