I haven't posted for quite a while because life for me took an
unpredictable turn.
June 2011, I found out that I had stage 3 triple
negative breast cancer. I found the lump on my 50th birthday. That was quite a present..but I guess I had 50 years of positive mental training to prepare for this unbelievable challenge.
I've always been a positive person and I contribute that to my military upbringing.
My dad was an Army Drill Sergeant and in Intelligence with the Missile Defense System in the 70's. We moved on the average of every 3 years, back and forth from Lawton, Okla. to Germany. During all that moving, I just developed this strong “Polly
Anna”attitude of...."Life, if not great today, will be better tomorrow".
My Mom being a great “type A” military wife instilled strength and determination in my 2 older sisters and I...lol..Yep,I'm the youngest, so I had to be tough.. of
course my sisters and I displayed our strengths in many different ways but we
always had each other’s backs in the journey of moving and growing up. To this
day if something should go wrong, I have no doubt that I will see my sister’s
right there behind me.
My husband and children are my focus..but my sisters are my strength!
I just want to thank them for always being there. Ever Ready!
Ever Ready, a saying I heard my dad say about the Army. I would watch my dad polish his boots and medals the night before he would give a surprise inspection to his platoon. I said “They aren’t going to like this surprise”.Dad would smile and say “ A solder is
Ever Ready.”.. So since I have always been a proud Army Brat! I was Ready to fight this cancer... It's funny, how a quote can shape an attitude!
