Aunt Sandra


Aunt Sandra, my Mom’s only sister, was in the hospital for a week in July having a tumor removed from her brain and is nearing the end of her recovery. She was able to attend Stella’s birthday party a couple of weeks ago. I sent her the invitation because I love her, not because I actually expected her to attend the party. But there she went, showing up at the party looking fantastic as always! I feel like a moron because, although I tried to visit her while she was in the hospital (that attempt failed because they were limiting visitors), she visited us first.

We just got an update on her condition and she is in fantastic spirits (at least her email sounds like she is). However, they did more tests and found that she has thyroid cancer. From the information that she sent, it sounds like she will have several weeks of radiation treatment and beat the crap out of the cancer so that she can continue to be our fantastic Aunt Sandra for a long, long time! I'm so grateful for her and love her so much! Please keep her in your prayers!
