My oldest sister had an acute leukemia about 12 years ago, and it really brought my family together. She had a bone marrow transplant from one of my other sisters, and is cancer free now, but an experience like that certainly makes you slow down and reflect on things. Thanks for the post.

I don't often read memoirs, either, but this one sounds like a good one. (Cancer is a 4 letter word in my family, both my grandparents died of it in the past decade…)

Speaking of free books, I have a big giveaway (several books + a set of cookie cutters) this week on my blog. It's been a slow blog week, which means whoever enters is likely to win. Here's the link:

That would be so bizarre to have something like that in the family and to just wait for the other shoe to drop and told you have cancer. I love stories like that, where people learn about what's important.

P.S. I actually thought about your house too when I wrote that post. I love your cottage and the character it has!

My Mom (many years ago)and I (a year after my sister died) have both went through several treatments for phase 1 cervical cancer (SCARY!!!!) but right now we're both doing fine and thanking God for each new day.

Thanks for sharing.
