This has nothing to do with weight loss. My daughter, age 42, has just been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. We are currently waiting for results of full body scan to determine if it's already migrated to any other organ. We could use all the prayers we can get. This has happened so fast. To all you women, and husband's. Don't mess around if you even suspect something. This has all happened in a few short weeks. Her only symptom was that her nipple retracted suddenly.

So, it was one year ago today I turned 59. I woke up and had a long reflection of my life. I was happily married, have 6 great kids who love me, 11 beautiful grandchildren, not rich, but enough for my needs. Great life, right?

So last October I turned 59.
