Unfortunately dealing with breast cancer seems to take up so much of my time these days, that it sometimes it is a conscious effort to remember who I am outside of breast cancer. This writing assignment was the perfect Rx to that condition, and although I felt kind of sad writing it, it also gave me a bit of a jolt and some really happy memories as well.CancerCultureChronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650364997423007994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093171013716050318.post-43540996099015983842011-06-11T09:45:07.875-04:002011-06-11T09:45:07.875-04:00Anna thanks so much for the lovely post giving me ...Anna thanks so much for the lovely post giving me the opportunity to get to know a little of you.'<br />Yesterday I met my sister for coffee.

I KNOW about that since I have three siblings and I was number three out of the four. I always noticed the number of photos declined significantly by child number three! I love how you have such an adventurous spirit, of course, I can kinda tell that by your blog posts! I admire your zest for life and it shines through in this post. Thanks for sharing.

Your descriptions of your grandad and your dad and your family vacations made me laugh out loud and splurt out some of the tea I was drinking while reading it! Your sense of adventure, your independence, your lust for life just shine through this and I am so grateful that you shared the "other you" with us.
