Two Reasons To Celebrate!

Happy Independence Day! We both look at holidays and birthdays differently since we have been diagnosed with cancer. We try and take every opportunity to celebrate whatever and whenever we can – to celebrate life!

We are alive! (You must be too if you are reading this!) That is reason enough to celebrate! Like Elizabeth Edwards often says: “Yes, my treatment causes complications and there are unpleasant side effects. But we are all trying to beat the ultimate complication, dying!” Aches and pains, down days, hurried and complicated lives. Challenges, frustrations, disappointments. Do you know what that means? You are alive! Beats the alternative!

Feel good and keep smiling! Pat & Pattie
