My birthday gift for the year of 2020 was breast cancer I’ll never forget the day that I was diagnosed it opened up so many things thoughts emotions it changed and gave me a different perspective on life I see me, I feel me I’m still trying to understand me, I can admit now the things that I struggled with and the things that I now struggle with I can admit now that I still struggle with sleeping at night because I can’t get the thought of cancer off my mind But at the same time feel so blessed grateful and thankful I look at my daughter and with love. With gratefulness I think about my husband and I overflow with thankfulness I look at my boys who are now men with their children and I see blessings and through it all I have strength, God has given such a Bestowed Beauty from something so ugly aka cancer. I am THANKFUL, I am GRATEFUL, I am Blessed, I AM JOY!

In memory of my best friend and Grandmother EMMA ROY who passed away from Breast cancer on 8/26/21.
