Just A Year Ago...

"I have so much to be thankful for this year. Thanks for everyone's support during my treatment. One year ago Josh shaved my head for chemo and this year I ran a 5K Turkey Trot!"
These are the words posted on my daughter's Facebook page just this past Thanksgiving... Candice was 35 years old, a mother of a 1 1/2 year old little boy, and she goes in to get her baseline mammogram only to find out she has breast cancer.
Well a year has gone by, she had chemo, then a double mastectomy, and reconstructive surgery. Her hair is growing back, her son is growing up, and we expect Candice to be with us for many years to come...
She truly is my inspiration.
