A Tribute

This evening I will be celebrating the life of my Aunt Marilyn.  She will be a certain milestone age this coming Wednesday.  What you don’t know about her is that she knows how to engage life.  She lives.  A few years ago my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer.  She beat it, but about two years ago the cancer returned.  It was now in her spine.  No one ever mentioned that she was going to die, but I knew it was that serious.  What’s amazing is that she is still alive and kickin’.  I do mean kickin’.   She is so good at living that you would never know she has cancer.  She laughs as much as she ever has.  She’s closer to God than she’s ever been.  She’s just as fun as she’s always been.  My aunt knows what it’s like to face the end of life, and she has decided to make the most of her life.  I believe that her attitude towards life is very much a part of her body’s response to her treatments.  She is doing well considering that she does have cancer.  I just think she is a perfect example of a person who has taken life by storm, and I truly admire her for it.

I love you Auntie M!
