Over the last 5 years specifically I have seen cancer take several family members lives. It has been a challenging 5 years as I realize the challenges that my loves ones must have been facing and though I didn't live close to them geographically to go to chemo or love on them as much as I wish I could have in retrospect, I'm so grateful that they had support. Thank you to Putt Away for all that you do. So in memory of my cousin Lisa Hughes Scott #forever49 June 2019, cousin Mesha Bennings #forever27 2020 succumbed to breast cancer that eventually metastasized, Uncle Fred-Dec. 20219 succumbed to lung cancer, Aunt Ivy Joyce "Nanny" April 2021 succumbed to lung cancer, I love and miss you all so much.
May is Brain Cancer Awareness month! Can you join me in wearing gray in honor of my brother Melvin "Fat Rick" who lost his battle to brain cancer in Oct. I miss you Melvin Riddick! Rest peacefully. (Nov 12, 1955 - Oct 26, 2016)
For my Brother Donald "Sonny" Neal. He was 48 when he passed away. He was diagnosed with lung cancer that eventually spread throughout his body. He didn't share with me until about 6months later because he said that he had to accept it himself first. Eventually he had to move back home, after that it was necessary that he got moved to hospice care which is where he expired. He always gave praise to our mother who stood by his side to the very end. For me it was extremely hard to stand by and watch somebody you love deteriorate. This is why I support finding a cure for Cancer.
