One Year Ago

We lost my sweet Daddy to a horrible disease last October 28th. Before he was even given a chance to fight he lost his battle with cancer. He had only been diagnosed 11 days! Most people don't know it, but this yellow ribbon stands for more than support for our troops. It's the symbol for liver cancer awareness. When you see one think of Jimmie, and pray for more cures and treatments!

We miss him more than words can express.
One of my Best Friends

I will be thinking of you during this time. October 21st marked the 10th anniversary of my mom passing away.

Few things... first, know I am thinking of you and your family during such a difficult time. I really can't imagine life without my daddy and I know you would give anything for Asher to know what a fabulous grandfather he was. So... on a lighter note... parade? in Columbus? I'm clueless but it sounds like a blast. Please send me details! :) I'm so there! Last, Asher and his blankie is ADORABLE. Bes is a blankie girl (and a paci girl) but I think it's so sweet. It irritates Brad because I don't discourage it but she's a baby... we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Hope to see you Friday!! Oh and I heard it snowed in Cnooga???

thanks for posting about your father. I know how important the cause becomes to you when it affects you so strongly. August 18th marked the two year anniversary of my dad's death. At the time he was diagnosed, there was only 2 chemo's that were available for lung cancer patients. I pray that number will continue to increase so, there will be more hope for patients.
