Last Year:

My mother (42) was diagnosed with aggressive stage 5 breast cancer. She responded VERY well to treatment and was nearly done with radiation. Then she woke up with no strength in her right hand, which lead to an MRI of her head (the first they had done of her head). They found numerous cancerious tumors throughout her brain. My mother fought cancer very hard but in the end it was her time to go. She is greatly missed.

I am a 27 y/o single mom of a 5 year old girl who is starting Kindergaten. We are looking forward to purchasing our first home this winter.
