Today is God's Gift, My Diagnosis was Oct. 2007

Every day when I step out of the shower

I see this plaque on the wall. My friend sent it

to me (she is dear and has helped me alot through

this cancer journey)

Today is God's Gift

I am glad I keep getting today.. I love my life mostly

although things have been difficult with my youngest

back home with 2 more cat

FEEL YOUR BREASTS

I was in Stage 4 already in Oct of 2007

after having a mammogram

in Oct. 2006

if you feel something

insist on a mammogram

no matter what age.

Girls in their 20' s are

more and more begin diagnosed with breast

cancer.

CANCER ..One in Two Men

One in Three Women

We need a cure for all cancer.

Sept has seen so many cancer victims pass, I can tell

you 5 friends and relatives have passed this month

of cancer..

Pray for the world!! Miracles do happen.I am one!!

I fear I am not as sweet as I should be, especially to

hubby hunk. I just the house back, with just hubby, our

fat GOOD cat and me here

I had kids in the house for 35 years and just got the house back with

just us ..I like it. I'm selfish with my time with hubby.

Here's a picture of my mom and me at Cracker Barrel just outside

of Springfield IL. We had a great time,

George..my awesome step dad, Mary Jo me MOM

my brother Jeff, sis inlaw Lisa and nephew Ethan (13 yrs)

It's great to have family..

my dad and step mom and step brother are all deceased.

I just realized my mom LOVES me, silly of me not to know.

It feels great to have a MOM and such a great step dad..he is

a keeper like my Hunny Hunk..

A happy wife is a happy life..George said when I asked

him why he babies my mom..so cool guy, builds homes in

Springfield IL and they are AWESOME

I am not sure if this is what I signed up to do..but I am going to

blog my breasts..I think they want us to show them..Ford has (or did have)

a wall of breasts and I am on there..

You won't see my face..I invite all my Pink Friends to show your

scars and support Breast Cancer Awareness Month..October 1st is

the kick off..let's start a tradition..bring those boobies out of the

dark and FIGHT LIKE A GIRL

One Year Pink Warrior Today

~I'll be taking the Pink day things down, but each year on this day I will have this celebration~

Today every one of my prayers have been answered, on my one year warrior day, more to come

Life is short..live it in wonder
Truths ..XFILES..TRUST NO ONE!! QUESTION EVERYTHING THE LIVES YOU SAVE MAY E YOUR OWN

The truth has emerged..going on my blog today
but NOT all the details.
here are the facts

My dad loved my step mother more than anyone else in his life
My step mom loved her son more than anyone else
Because we love both of the so, we never ??d things
I raised by this woman because my bio mom was deprived of me
my mom came home from work, baby gone (ME) house empty
she lived on the street..wouldn't ask for help till my dad's
family asked her to come stay with them
My mom saw my ONCE after that..my dad married my step mom on July 4
a DAY after there divorce..what wasted lives..I hope PHYLLIS my step mom repents
before she dies
thank you GOD!! for this prayer answered
Hunny Hunk says from only seeing ads on TV, I feel like I'm in a "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" & truly who would believe this?

My step mother has lied about everyone but her son
all her
life
My dad would never call HER on the carpet so we never knew
All our lives we have been decieved about our famly
and today we discovered that my step monster..I am so at peace
with everyone..is The Great Deciever
because someone played back her voice message & we
finally believe our family memebers

all is reavealed all is forgiven and I have lost 53 years of my family
becasuse of this

I continue to pray for every one ..and specifically others on some days

I am ready to GO home to God now
but will stay as long as I can as I love my family and friends so much
Fondly, Deena the Pink Warrior and child of God as we all are

pink coming

Hunny Hunk wanted to know what we will do when my stepmom dies, he thought we wouldn't go to funeral. All is 4given we will do whatever with a broken heart and much love
