Crickets….. Silence.
Who
would know this with the fanfare of the other cancer flourished in pink that
November holds a special time. Well we at Mae’s Breath will do our best to
shout from our lungs (no pun taking) to share and do our part. I’m so excited
about the work we have in store for the following year.
Lung
cancer is still one of the most serious and severe cancers that continually
affect loved ones, and I pray that one day it will be irradiated. As we all
know the face of lung cancer can be any of us…. Or did you know this? Even if
you picked up a cig 20 years ago, you may or may not be affected. If you inhale
second hand smoke you may be affected. What we’ve learn is that cancer is in us
and it take a shift that brings these little demons out. We recent lost the
brave soul of former smoker and advocate Terri Hall at 53. She was infamous
showing us her daily routine of making herself up with wig and makeup all while
speaking with a hole in her throat. I personally salute this woman of courage
and all blessings to her family for a life cut so very short. As I end this
here, I also want to say many blessings to the beautiful Rita Owens, the mother
of my queen – Dana Owen- a.k.a. Queen Latifah. I almost fell through the floor
when I heard and saw the accounts of the elder Ms. Owens. Ms. Rita I hope you
beat this if you happen upon this site!
The
families and caregivers understand all too well that we are effective in huge
numbers and I pray that one day the color of ivory is just as significant as we
squash this bug, that has taken and affected so many of our lives.
Lastly,
I want to say –Miss you so dearly mother dear Mae, whom this effort is
dedicated too. My life will never be the same, and I will continue in my way
big or small to continue my advocacy on this dreaded cancer known as lung
cancer.
