Pink in October

My parent's 50th wedding anniversary
The Ruesch family of origin---Kathy, Me, Mom, Dad, and Linda
In the Abbey Drive house where we grew up

My mom was a fighter. In 1997 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She survived the disease and beat it for over 11 years. I was always so proud of her strength and the way she handled all of the struggles that came her way during that time. A year after her diagnoses I was married and my mother was a vision of loveliness when she walked down the aisle to Ave Maria.  She was the picture of survival and an example for all of us. 


So, as a reminder in October, please be sure to have regular mammograms and take care of your body.
