The last 8 weeks of my life have changed with my diagnosis of cancer. I was scared and not one to go running for support from a stranger. It's just how I am. So one day I called my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Mark. I knew they were going through what I was about to. The three of us spoke for almost an hour. Since that call I had made Aunt Kathy my partner in support. We spoke several more times after that first call. She was the only person who made me feel like everything will be fine. I believed it because she was a living testimony of it with every treatment she had. She was amazing in easing my mind about what was to come with doctor's appt., surgery, chemo, radiation and long-term medications. She would always says, "Oh Becky don't let anyone tell you this journey will be bad because it's not that bad." I can't begin to tell you how many times she used the words "stay positive." Well, I will Aunt Kathy because of you. You are with me everyday through this journey. You're in my mind and heart forever. No one could have asked for a more precious, warm, loving, funny and strong woman. You are at peace Aunt Kathy...and so am I.
