If You Have Your Health, You Have It All!

Her name is Kathleen.

And, even though she is 82 years old, she is still classy, elegant, aware, and just plain fun.

Today she wasn't feeling well, and she told me that she has never really had a lot of health problems.

BUT, and it's a big one...

she has one son and three daughters.

And, incredibly, each of her three daughters has had cancer.

The daughter with Hodgkins is no longer alive.

The daughter with breast and the daughter with leukemia are alive, but have some health issues.

I'll say it again...

If you have your health, you have it ALL!

Cancer Takes Its Ugly Toll on Two Dear Cousins

In 2004, my cousin, Ann Merrill died of liver cancer. Her sister, Karole, died on April 18 of this year of breast cancer which had spread throughout her body. How does cancer strike two beautiful and wonderful people in the same family? And, in their 60's?

So hard to understand from a statistical and medical standpoint...

Interestingly, their father just died last year at 100 years of age.

Ann and Karole, I'll always remember you both as selfless, positive, and always cheerful...thanks for your noble lives of goodness.
