    What I am fighting for
    I adore my family. They are the reason I am here and they are the reason I will fight everyday to kick cancer's butt and be around to see my grandchildren (maybe even great- grandchildren - sounds good, huh?). I am so blessed with a huge family (parents, 3 sisters, nieces and nephews, in-laws) and I am fighting to be with them all! They give me strength, hope and love!

    HA!

    Well I have changed it a few times because I like change. After I went to Montauk Light, I fell in love with the area, so this lighthouse goes with my name and Montauk.

    Great
    question & interesting answers! I chose the Pink Panther because I've always loved him, he's pink, which goes along with the "Pink" Sister/Brotherhood we have here, and he is breaking out of a shell. I have lived & broke through many different "shells" throughout my life. BC became one of them, but greatfully, because of all of you & my Hubby, I made it through this one!

    because everyone looks so pretty in their photos and i look like an alien from space!! (please come back eyebrows, eyelashes, and most of all hair on my head!!!)

    and a dear friend, also a bc survivor, at her relay for life purchased a luminaria in my honor. i was so touched by her thoughtfulness, and seeing it every time i post on this site reminds me that there is hope and that i am loved. that's why.

    Heid you forget
    you are amongst aliens. This is a place where you can let your
    hair down.

    But you got one thing right. You ARE loved.

    Katie-Bar-the-Door!
    Because my Bulldog, Katie, is my muse, my comic relief, & the inspiration for my screen name.

    The rest of my animal crew do a lot to cheer me as well, but I can't fit all of them into one shot & hubby told me if I post any more pics of him online he'll divorce me. LOL

    I Love Football
    This picture was taken at Ravens Stadium in Baltimore during ladies night a few weeks ago. My youngest son's fiance, Karlie, and I went & had a great time. The picture was taken under the goal post where they have displayed the pink ribbon for the month of October. TaTa for now! Jean

    My new picture
    My new picture is me and my wonderful husband taken last night at a neighbors Halloween party. We had such a great time with great friends. Hugs, Jean

    Fun Question; Interesting Answers
    Me, I chose this pic because A)I have hair, and B)I'm on the Golden Gate Bridge. Two things I thought I might never experience again.

    However, I'd love to be in Dawne.Hope's pic. I want to move to the Carribbean! Oh, and hug that cutie Jazz, meet Katie the comic bulldog...

    Thanks for starting this thread, Ayse!

    choice of photo
    It was taken on a short vacation with my daughter and her college friends in RI just before Labor Day. It was so relaxing and fun that I picked the photo most associated with that happy trip.
    Hugs,K

    my photo makes me laugh
    This photo is my favorite souvenir from my first time around with breast cancer. I had the boys draw on my bald head. Did it just in time, too. Hair started growing back within 2 weeks of this shot. I always chuckle and thought that most of the other cancer survivors would enjoy this photo as well. my husband just thinks it is embarrassing. too bad for him.

    Christmas
    This was snapped on Christmas day, almost 3 months after I completed treatments . What day is happier?

    I love hearing your explanations.

    Happy
    I chose my pic, because my (2) best friends(they were cropped) & I are on top of the Empire State Building having a blast. We went to NYC to celebrate turning 40 & it was such a fun trip.
