Christmas pix explaination
I am not very good at this. Every time I set out to publish pix, I have the hardest time finding them on my computer. It is all a mess, and I am definitely computer challenged. I did the best I could, and hope that between myself, and my, much more capable children, we get all the bases covered. I got lazy, and tired, so I quit labeling. It is hit and miss.

Need to vent
I have been following the blog of a beautiful young woman that Cassy used to go to school with. Additionally, our family had been in their ward for a couple of years. The young woman, Susan, age 26, lost her battle with colon cancer last night (Dec 5th). Hers was the most courageous fight I have seen in some time. She was a lot like Cassy, health nut, exercised, and she had one of those infectious personalities that are hard to miss.
My heart breaks for this family. It also opens wounds of my own. Cancer is such a cruel opponent. It has taken a good many friends and loved ones from this earth, way too soon. I hope that we all pray hard, and often, for medical science to catch up with this disease. I so hope that cures are discovered in my life time. I want to witness its defeat.
As for Susan, a young newly wed who had so much to offer this world, Cliche or not, she is in a better place. Knowing that , although helpful, doesn't do a lot for how senseless it seems. It doesn't take the pain away from her young husband and family. She went from diagnosis, to dying in only a few short months.
Obviously she wouldn't have been expected to be getting screened for, what is usually a much older persons disease, but to my loved ones, I beg, do not skip check ups and screenings that you should be getting. Please help me to not let Cancer take anyone unnecessarily. Let's do all in our power to stop it. Sadly, we cannot prevent, or detect it all, but take care of the ones we can.
Well, I will let it go, for now. I don't even know if this will be read, but I just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks to anyone who suffers thru it. God bless!!
