A gift from my grandaughter Aly
This was a writing assignment for Aly who is in the 7Th grade and turned 13 today. I cried when I read it but they were happy tears. I told her there was one mistake though. When I was diagnosed I was told 3 to 5 years not 4 to 15. I just celebrated my 5Th year anniversary on Feb 15Th. and I'm working on getting to year 15. : )
Wow Aly you get a gold star for this wonderful tribute about your precious Grandma.I am so proud of you for doing this wonderful tribute about our Hero, My baby sister , every ones friend,your Grandma. We are all so very lucky she has been here for all of us all these years.You are right she is a Hero to all of us. Love ya Sis and Aly
Wonderful essay Aly! You were right on with your deep admoration for your Grandma Vowles! She has always been the best Aunt to me and I have always looked up to her! This is truly a priceless piece of work!
Aunt Evelyn, I feel so totally blessed to have you as my Aunt! Congrats on your 5 year anniversary! Let go for 15 or more! Love Ya!!!
I am 63 years old and was diagnosed with multiple myeloma on Feb 15,2005 at age 57. I was undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant.(SCT) I had my stem cells harvested in May 06 but due to complications I did not, nor do I plan to have the transplant. Added note: NEVER say NEVER; I am going to complete my sct starting Feb 15th 2011.
I worked as a RN until going on disability in Dec. 04.
I am the one with black top on. I am with my sisters Sylvia & MaryLou
