Thyroid Cancer Sucks

A whole month of activities...scrunched into one blog....


In the last week, we have experienced two proms.  Savana went to the School of the Osage Punga celebration.  It is an annual event that all the high school students are invited to attend.  Formal of course!  So we ran Savana up to Aunt Kims before the big night to get some great pictures of her in her amazingly beautiful dress.  Plus some great close ups!






Tonight was Lee's Junior prom event.  He and his friend Sarah decked out to the max and met Aunt Kim at the Wilmore Lodge for some great pictures to document the event appropriately.  Lee and his best friend Cliff had to be sure the event was attended as a double date as they are rarely apart from each other....best buds I tell you!




                        My favorite "sassy" picture...Love the facial expressions.  Cracks me up!
Before all the picture taking today, Mom and Dad, Kim and I attended a Thyroid Survivor Convention that was being held right here at Lake of the Ozarks.  I had been invited to speak on a "survivor panel" to share my journey through these last couple of years and provide support to others as they work their way through the life changes that any cancer diagnosis will inevitably bring along.   The event was a success and everyone that attended went away from the program having learned something new.

As my kids experience their milestone events, I have also felt that today was a milestone event for me.  Connecting with others that "understand" what your struggles and pressures have been like is very comforting and also lets you know that you are not alone...which I never have really felt since I have the best support group right here within my amazing family.  Love you Mom, Dad and Kim for taking your beautiful Saturday and spending it with me!
