On Saturday April 3, 2010, a beautiful woman named Teri passed away from breast cancer. This woman fought the damn disease for 7 years - 6 more years than they had originally predicted she'd live. In the end, however, it won the war.

I love you mama!

*This part of the profile was written in 2007 when I entered my first breast cancer awareness avatar into the arena.*

I just want to say thank you for everyone's comments. I'm so glad that my entry in the arena has had such positive feedback (for the most part.) I know some people are upset by my placing in the top 10 because it was a "pity entry." I never intended to get anything out of this except for being able to spread the word of breast cancer. I have gotten so many comments and messages from people who know someone who has or has passed because of it and it warms my heart. I have been brought to tears on more than one occasion just from the love that some people have left in their comments to me.

I want to thank everyone who has offered to keep me and my family in their prayers.

I hope everyone who knows someone with cancer (breast or other) is able to focus on the love and greatness of that person and the relationship you share with them instead of the sadness that is caused by knowing their time may be short. To everyone who themselves has cancer, stay strong! There is so much love in the world that even when you're down all you have to do is reach out a hand and someone will grab it and be right by your side. Good job fighting and my heart goes out to you.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to send me friend requests or messages and I will gladly respond.

heart Laura

For My Mom

I write a lot but not enough about how I feel regarding my mother and her having breast cancer so I figure this is a great place to be able to do just that.

I just learned yesterday that one of my friends has been diagnosed with breast cancer. I'd always heard about it happening to other people and my parents told me about the women in my family that had it, but I guess I never expected it to actually happen to someone close to me. It was such a shock for me, and I cannot believe such a thing could happen to someone as bright and friendly as her. Now it's like my eyes have been opened to the harsh reality that something like this really can happen. I took it pretty hard and I realize that if it's this hard for me, imagine what it's like for her family. It makes me fear for my own family, particularly my mom because I know it runs in my family, so she is likely to get it. And I know it must be so hard for you to handle what has happened to your mother. I can only tell you to never give up hope and keep supporting your mom in every way you can. I hope she wins the fight. God bless you and your mom. I'll be praying for her, my friend, and all the other women that have been diagnosed.
