October...

The month when football is in full swing...the month when hockey starts up...the month when we are all cheering for our favorite baseball teams to win the World Series... the month that the trees turn bright beautiful colors.
Breast Cancer Awarness Month.

We goof around a lot on here...we have head day, we have fuck day, then there is Friday funnies...we make bets on sports games....but we also talk about reality.

Cancer...a terrible terrible thing. In one way or another it has taken friends and family from us, Em...Dreambaby...my mom...I hate it for the voids it has left in my life. Breast cancer can hit any woman or any man at any time. I thank God today for my Aunt June...a four year breast cancer survivor. I live with a fear that I think most woman do...please do not ever let it happen to me.

I don't mean to sound like a downer in this wonderful time of the year..but it is reality...and I just had to say something.

WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO
It cannot cripple love
it cannot shatter hope
it cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It canot conquer the spirit.

  1. As a survivor myself, posts like these are never a downer. They are a reminder of the constant struggle to find a cure. For years, I have clicked this link almost every day. The Breast Cancer Site has given 52,859 mammograms since October 2000.

    Take a moment to click and pass it along.
