My name is Valerie, and this picture means so much to me. We have been together almost 12 years. The top photo was taken back in 2008, and the other in 2013 when he shaved my hair after it all started falling out from Chemo. I was diagnosed with invasive stage 1 breast cancer in May 2013. After surgery, chemo, and 38 rounds of radiation, I'm working my way back to a new normal. Ironically, during my treatment was the best time of my life. I've been so happy every.day. I was just so happy I was going through this and not my spouse or our child. If had this happened to them, you wouldn't have been able to pick me up off the floor. I am so thankful for every day.
