Thank you pink sisters for all the birthday greetings. It was one of my best birthdays ever!! I was with my sons and my granchildren. Troy was christened yesterday so we had a double celebration. Had cake and ice cream at lunch with the family and then dinner with some wonderful friends and more cake.

I hadn't been on the boards since Thursday evening. When I logged on late last nite it took me a few minutes to understand what was going on. I had to go thru several posts to finally see that we had lost Moopy. I am in absolute shock as we all are!!

Somehow this past Christmas and this birthday have been my best ever. My husband is asking if I'm sure about that. I am sure and asked myself why I am so sure and the answer is: "my attitude is to try and enjoy every moment and every celebration to the max because tomorrow is not promised".

Moopy's sudden passing is all the more reason for us to take a true look at life and cease each moment as best we can. Rest in peace Moopy and may God bless Joe and all us kindred spirits as we face and live each day.

    So glad
    That you are enjoying life to the fullest, Sandy. That it what we're all fighting for, isn't it?

    I am also very happy to be celebrating life today. I'm going to a baby shower for my cousin's expected new baby girl (their first). Her name will be Charlotte. I'm so looking forward to being in the loving arms of my family and celebrating our new addition.

    I cherish every one of you, and I know that I am always in your loving arms as well.

    Love,
    Cindy

    I am so happy that you had a wonderful birthday. You definitely deserve it. Glad you got to celebrate with friends and family. Plus celebrating with little Troy when he was christened. I'm sure you gave him more than enough hugs & kisses. Love your attitude and your new saying. You are a true inspiration.

    Cousin .. Natly .. Wonderful and inspiring suggestion
    for us all. Life is precious, and at times short. We need to love each and every moment -- even when it's raining, snowing or just having a bad day.

    We all have stress outside from our breast cancer arena -- family issues, financial woes and dark days. My plan is to continue moving forward .. 1 step at a time, 1 day at a time .. a promise I make to myself and all of you WARRIORS. Finding the beauty in the little things, and smiling often.

    Strength, Love and Courage,

    You are so right!
    I'm so happy you had such a wonderful time. This is a great outlook that I try and remember myself. Cancer sure gives a whole new meaning to Birthdays and other celebrations.
