All families endure difficult times in their lives, but these times seem to make our family stronger as we have had our fair share. Dealing with cancer, whether it was a friend or someone in our family, has been a challenge. When the cancer disaster strikes over and over, it really makes you take a look at your life and what you have to be thankful for. I hope that our family story will help others get through difficult times in their lives and know that they are not alone. My family makes me who I am, and I want to thank them for believing in me!
