I hadn't thought about it, I guess...

About a week ago, I was in a place that had a basket of little ribbons out to take and wear to show your support for the fight against cancer and to remember the victims. Of course, I immediately grabbed a pink ribbon (I have one jacket on which I have worn one for a few years, but I felt the need for yet another one) as a tribute and memory of my DMIL who passed away in August, but then I grabbed a blue ribbon for my dad who has been treated for prostate cancer for about 14 months, and then I grabbed a teal ribbon to remember my "second mother" who passed away from ovarian cancer a year ago Halloween, and I grabbed a white ribbon to remember my mother's fight with melanoma and our former secretary's husband who lost his battle with multiple myeloma last winter. It made me sad to have lost so many people in my life this past 16 months, and to remember how deeply my life and those of others close to me have been affected by the ravages of cancer. Thanks for letting me share.

It really is a horrible disease. My grandmother on my father's side lost both her children and her husband to cancer. My dad passed away from lung cancer, my aunt from breast cancer, and my grandpa from bone cancer. I don't see how she goes on.

My best friend survived ovarian cancer as a teenager.

I always do the "Relay for Life" in memory of my dad, my aunt, and my grandpa and in honor of my friend.

I look forward to the day we no longer have to worry about cancer.
