This is the date that my best friend past away. Lung cancer has taken her to heaven. I had to laugh last night when I was told this. Please don't think that was a bad thing, let me explain.

In April my dad in law (well my ex Dad in law) died of cancer. He and Tammy when to chemo together, he told me , that he would go first and wait at heaaven's gates for Tammy's slow butt to get there. When I found out she had passed, my first thought was, him standing there waiting for her yelling, Here comes Tammy!!! That thought keeps me going, cause I know that both of them are no longer suffering and now they both have hair. LOL

Going to be missed

Yesterday, I got the news that the doctor's only gave Tammy about 2 more weeks. She has lung cancer, and gee I am going to miss her!!!!!! She is my sister-in-law (well she is married to my ex's brother, but you divorce husbands not family). Tammy and I did alot together. If it wasn't for her, I would have never started my hallmark Christmas ornament collection or have all my beanie babies, or went to my first quilt class or photography class. We went to Weight Watchers together, and she lost more weight than me!! but I forgave her for that. LOL There is alot of things she taught me and we did together, I could go on and on, about everything, but one thing for sure is, I always wanted a big sister, and for me, Tammy was like my big sister.

Well making some progress, I did get row 2 done.

Family Part 1

I just wanted to share some photos.

The one with the 3 girls are Rebekah, my niece Lynne and Michelle.

The other one is of Rebekah (black shirt) and my sister in law Tammy, (she has lung cancer) and there is also one of Tammy and Michelle.

The one dated 11 25 2007, that is my 2 girls and their grandpa Jack, he died April 2008 of cancer, (he was the one Rosebud came from). The girls and I miss him alot.

Cancer has hit our family this past year. Tammy is hanging in there, but is slowly loosing the fight. It's sad to see family go through this. Tammy took me to my first quilting class and she and I quilted together. One Christmas I quilted her a tree skirt and eveyone loved it. It had snowmen on it. That was my first quilt. She took me to get my nails and toes done for the first time and was there for me when my marriage ended. I dont go and see her like I want, cause my ex lives next door but sends her lots of cards and emails.
