In March of 2002 I remember laying in bed sick from chemotherapy and looking out the window. It was snowing. I took in every moment of that snow fall .... thinking maybe it would be the last I ever saw. The first time it snowed that December, I cried. I had made it. I had seen the snow again and so much more. I see everything brighter and with new perspective. Cancer took a breast, but gave me a life. I life I hadn't planned.

Now, three years later, I have been diagnosed with a recurrence of breast cancer and must start treatments again. This time, I am not as scared. I know the days of uncertainty and depression will rear its ugly head again. But I also know that this time, I have no regrets. I was lucky enough this year to marry my Angel, Mario, who has taken care of me and loved me with a devotion I have never known.

Being that I have metastatic breast cancer, my disease is considered non-curable. But that was no matter to my Angel. He married me. And I know he is devoted to making my life as happy as we can, for as long as we can. None of us know what tomorrow brings.
