Though this post is mainly about my day… I wanted to tell you because of the activity that I did.

I had a girl day yesterday with my best friends. We went out to eat and then chilled at my house … talking, laughing and playing with Trinity (Jasmine’s little cutie – my adoptive niece). We also had a craft day and Jasmine taught us how to make key chains. Still working on mine! However, it was a blast. It was so nice to slow down (first time in weeks) to really enjoy some fun.

As you know, leukemia is represented by an orange color. Esophagus cancer is periwinkle (light blue). Out of all the colors Jasmine had, I knew what I wanted my key chain to be. I quickly picked orange and light blue (in honor of dad and I’s cancer colors). I can’t wait until I get it finished.

Having cancer changes a person. Before my family’s experience, I would have picked my favorite colors. Now, being a survivor and sharing my hope and faith, has become important to me.
