Today is a sad day, but hopeful. Last night I dreamed of a beautiful voice and it was my sister's voice. I awoke realizing it was only a dream and that I still had not talked with my sister. She found out that Dante has Dwarfism one week ago. She can not talk to anyone at this time and her and Jason are devasted from what I was told by my mom and Aunt Bonnie.

I took my aunt to my gynocologist and it went very well. My aunt has a small lesion in her cervic and they did a biopsy that same day. I have a really great doctor and she spent extra time with my aunt and explained her treatment plan. My aunt is a new woman and is very empowered. I feel better.

Upon returning from my Nana's funeral, my favorite Aunt who literally saved my life, informed me that she has Cancer cells in her cervix. He is a young grandmother raising her four grandkids that her daughter abandoned. She doesn't want the rest of the family to know and I would like to share this with you so that it doesn't eat me up. My bestfriends know, but not family. I'm taki...1 Recommendation -

My paternal grandmother (Nana) passed away and as a family we were fortunate to be with her when died. I wasn't able to be raised with her and was envious by the other cousins that had the opportunity to know her before her 3 stokes in which she was in a state of vegetation for the past seven years. Eitherway, it was good to be around family. I'm currently working with family members in w...1 Recommendation -

I currently weight 180 and am 5ft 6inches. I lost 10 pounds about two months after I was diagnosed in Sept 2007. I need to lose 25 lbs and can't move beyond this plateau. I'm starting the Nutrisystem diet for Diabetics and will journal my progress. My feet are tingling alot and burn. I'm going to start a diligent regiment of moisturing my feet. -
