It's Thankful Thursday again and this week I am thankful that I had a wonderful one year wedding anniversary with my husband and my kids. I am truly looking forward to and making plans for our second wedding anniversary already. I'm thankful that I am breast cancer FREE!! As you all know it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
And for me this is kind of a sad month because I lost my paternal grandmother and two aunts on my father's side to breast cancer. I also, lost a great aunt on my mother's side to breast cancer and have watched a few members in my family battle and survive breast cancer. So, this disease is very serious for me. I don't take for granted being among those who are breast cancer free because this is a disease that has affected so many women and a few men in my family.
I am also thankful that I had the chance to go back home for a day and visit with my mom. She enjoyed seeing the kids and couldn't believe how big they've both gotten. It was nice to see my baby sister on her fall break from college. She had so many stories to share. I'm thankful that she's adjusting and making some great friends.
I'm also thankful for all the new followers YUMMommy has. Thank you so much for liking this blog enough that you've decided to subscribe to it. I truly appreciate your support and your comments are welcomed!

I am really sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to watch family members pass away because of this horrible disease.
ReplyDeleteThe most important thing is to always check yourself and go for that annual checkup at the doctor's office (both general doctor and feminine care).
