This year it is a fight for the cure for our family. Wendy was re-diagnosed with breast cancer the end of March and so this year, it is a fight!
She was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago, did radiation and was told there was a very very small chance this was to ever return well, here we are round 2 and she is nothing but a fighter and TOUGH!!!!
She is doing chemo treatments every other week at this point and there is not a day that goes by I am not amazed by here attitude, toughness, and gratefulness. The reason I say this is because it cannot be easy and I could think of a million reasons to be pissed off, mad at the world, question faith and life, and yet to see her act and take this in the way she is opens things up a bit for me. She keeps us updated every step of the way. Every doctor visit, every treatment, every phone call. She wants us to know and be aware and ask. I am grateful for not having to wonder.
We are definitely in this as a family.
This year at the race we would have rather stayed home. it is such a emotional experience and with the turn of events for Wendy this year we dreaded going. The good thing is, what we dreaded turned out to be a great day!!! We were all happy to be there together as a family skipping across the finish line. Can't wait for next year. GO YAYA!
