Carmen

What can I tell you about Carmen?  She's a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, co-worker, friend and a FIGHTER!  Carmen has ovarian cancer and is scheduled for surgery on February 17, 2011.  Before Carmen got sick, NO, let me rephrase that, Carmen doesn't get sick or at least when she does she fights her way through it, before Carmen found out she had cancer she was a different person.  The person she is now was always inside her, just afraid of coming out.  Most of her life she's been this tiny little flower bud, unable to open but this dreaded disease has given her more freedom than she ever imagined.  She has bloomed into this remarkable person full of vim and vigor, love, kindness and emotion (something you never saw before Cancer).  She has learned that by giving a little of yourself you open yourself up to get so much more in return.  And I have learned that YOU CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS (Carmen was my mountain), you can find dear friends in the most unlikely of places and in the most unlikely of ways. There is power in prayer, pray for Carmen, my friend.
