It's hard to believe that two years ago tomorrow was mom's surgery!! I remember going to the hospital like it was yesterday. We had to get up very early to be there and they took mom late and she tried to leave. The anesthesia guy was about 17 years old and when he asked mom for her weight it did not go over well.I got to sit with Boppie in the waiting room, well I sat he pretty much slept, and my friend Stephanie came to visit as she is a nurse at Brighams. When mom came out of surgery around 530ish I had to help dress her but she swears she dressed herself. I slept at mom's that night and the next day we got to have number 9's from Dangelos...hmm this blog might start to sound like Jared's...wah wah wah.

After surgery I got to attend several chemo camp trips and even a few radiation visits. After one trip to the hospital I had to drive around to THREE different subways to find one open so mum could get her sub. Now she HATES subway. When she would visit CT I'd make her chemo pasta and chicken, bob tried to replicate at home after that but it was NEVER the same.

She will get mad but look at the difference in mum from two years ago. Heloooo chicos prints




And who's hair is real in this picture???



This is when moms hair just started coming in and nana would lick her fingertips and try to fix it..



And look at JOdie Foster now..




Look at how much has changed in two years mum, you beat breast cancer and welcomed your first little guy Callum Cakes and now are getting ready to meet little man #2 in the spring. Who could ask for anything more??

We wish you many many many more years of being cancer free!!!!!

Congratulations!!! It is hard to believe it has been two years. I will never forget the night Bob told Kristin over the phone....it was right after we had gone to a show and dinner at the casino. A memory I wont ever forget! But anyway!

correction, bob didn't tell me. NO ONE would tell me so dad got the job.

Congratulations, Mum! It's hard to believe that it's been 2 years already... Before you know it, it will be 12 like Jared!

you're looking great. I have to say I like your real hair better than the 'not real' hair... But I think once in a while you should break out your head wraps. Those are so cool...
