Mommy Growing up: Let's fight breast cancer

Let's fight breast cancer

My Aunt D.
A favorite Aunt lost her battle against breast cancer. It's been ten years now but the pain of losing her still linger. She was terribly missed.

She's my mom's cousin but she was more of a second mother to me. Guiding me through school, giving me extra allowances, bringing me and my siblings to travels, buying us gifts, training us to become good businesswomen, and making our lives a bit colorful and special one. She was my beautiful, soft-spoken, sweet, hard working and big-hearted Aunt. Indeed, a favorite one. I was so blessed to have known her and to have her by our sides all those growing up years.

Diagnosed with a breast cancer, she fought the disease, real hard. She was one of the bravest. In spite of all the chemotherapy sessions, surgeries and courage to fight this deadly disease, she finally succumbed. It was so painful for all of us who fought with her and for all of us who loved her so much.

Cancer needs to be beaten.

My siblings and I on our solidarity with the cause.

    Great post Katya Kate. I am sorry to hear that you lost an aunt to breast cancer. I know several persons who have suffered and died from this disease. I pray that a cure for this disease and all cancers will be found in the near future. I visited the site and clicked. Take care.

    This is a beautiful post! and great tribute to your Aunt. I clicked and clicked some more!! And it's really cool to see you and your family all in pink for the cause. Sorry for your loss, but I know your Aunt did not die in vain. I believe God worked out a special purpose for her in her lifetime and is reflected in you and the others that she touched.
