I was four when my mom, Ida, was diagnosed with breast cancer. I only remember parts of that summer when she was in the hospital and then home and back at work full steam in her garden on our farm. Her determination to beat the cancer and see her six children through to adulthood was fierce.
Now forty-two years later, we are gathering together this month to celebrate her 90th birthday! We are so blessed to have had her remain cancer free for so many years.
