Save the TaTa's Breast Walk!

So this is me and my mom at "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" at the state house in Providence, RI. Pretty neat news: my mom was the top contributer for fundraising money, and won a trip to Arizona for a Breast Cancer Convention.


Anyways, this is the "glitz and glam" side of this disease.. it might look normal on the outside, but if you knew what she went through on a weekly basis, you would know how much of a toll the treatments have taken on her body -- but never her outlook on life.


Speaking of keeping a positive attitude on life, I don't know how she does it. I see it's hard on her, she has to stay away from a lot of public places and refrain from attending church & spiritual meetings -- which let me tell you, that has been her saving grace which she has used as a healing tool previously in her life. I don't know, I guess you have to be positive -- there's no ifs, ands or buts about it, but its hard not to say "why me," "F*ck this," or even "I'm giving up," which, of course, you can NOT even think about or say.


I do know this: ever since her diagnosis, she has always looked on the "bright side of things" and has kept her head up even when her day gets dark & stormy.
