A Blonde, a Brunette, & a Red Head...

One of my favorite aunts has had breast cancer a few times over now. It’s a scary thing, but she has never dwelled on it or really let it get her down. She has turned what could be the ultimate negative into something very positive.



When she lost her hair she bought three wigs - a blonde, a brunette, and a red head, and her husband went to bed with a different woman every night (that was their joke – not taking credit for that one).

She now goes to the gym everyday and looks fantastic (wish I had that kind of determination). She quit smoking, which she had been trying to do anyway for a year. She persevered and came through it all much stronger and more grounded – after losing a piece of herself, she ended up more of a whole person than she had ever been in the past.
