Happy Birthday Mom...

I spent today thinking of my mother. She loved birthdays, and made sure we all had big parties, with all of the family together. We did the same for her. Today passed without a party.. just flowers for her grave...

The world keeps changing, and the days keep passing.

There is still no early detection, or cure, for ovarian cancer.

I still believe our biggest hope is awareness.. We have to make sure that every woman knows the symptoms of this disease and what to do. We have to make sure that people continue to care and hope enough to find the answers...

Loreal continues to spread awareness and donate to research.
Kelly Ripa and Electrolux and Power Balance are committed to the same.

When I started writing this journal, there were very few companies that were involved with ovarian cancer awareness or research. If you look at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund site, you will see that there are now many.

I will continue to write here and do my part.. As small as my part is- I can't forget what Mom said to me.. "If just one person is helped by what has happened to me, then everything will be okay.."

Happy Birthday Mom.. I miss you more than words can say.........
