Way to go Grandma A!!!

It's hard to imagine that its already been a year since my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.  I remember her not wanting to tell me, afraid how I would react or what I would think.  So when she stopped over on a school day I knew something was up. Hearing that she had gone in for a biopsy, I reacted in typical Jen form---so what now, and what do we need to do? It wasn't long after that she found out it was in fact cancer.  Me, yet again, just in the "unemotional" mindset just wanted to know what was next.  I figured she would get a mastectomy, which she did, just was unsure about other treatment along with it.  So when they said chemo and herceptin I still reacted in my get it done attitude.  It's not that the news didn't effect me, but I just knew my mom would be ok and that life sure as heck isn't fair.  This certainly wasn't her first ride on the "bad luck" train.  But there was one thing that I always have known about my mom---she could do anything she put her mind to.  No matter how hard, emotional or physically draining the challenge was, she always succeeded. And not only did she succeed, she was able to inspire others as she did so(which just makes her more special).  I couldn't have asked for a better role model, and I am so proud to have her be such a part of my children's lives.  So here's to you Grandma A--I'm sure the road ahead won't be easy or fair, but nothing you can't overcome!
