You have to try and live your life not in fear. Not everone gets sick. I know what you are going through. Cancer runs in my family.I have lost my parents, grandma's, and uncles to different cancers, plus two friends. Luckily none of us have had it(my brothers, sister, and I). I do worry also. I did have a small scare a few years ago, but luckily It wasn't. I have no control over if I get sick or not. None of us do. We just try to live as healthy a life as we can.. Even though people are still getting sick. Look at how far medicine has come.. Cancer isn't always a death sentence anymore.. I think the fact people are catching it earlier is a big reasaon why people are beating this disease.. YEAH..
YOu just have to be strong for them and try to make things as normal as possible. My dad/uncle didn't want us fussing over them. They wanted to just live as normal life as possible. Although both were extremely sick..
Unfortunately we have no control over what we get or don't get. All we can do is try to live as healthy a life as possible.. You can take percaution, but try to enjoy your life... It is the most precious thing any of us have..

The red/white one is for the special olympics that I got from work. The pink is for brest cancer, the purple is from Nikki (<3), the blue is for the canadian wildlife federation (I think)
and the green is from Nikki. <3
Ooh, there are Special Olympic bands? I want one. My cousin does the Special Olympics.

I've never seen them before actually. Its half red and half white and it says "Winning at Life" or something. There is no website for them or anything. We just got sent a giant bag of them at work. If I can find a spare one I'll send it your way.

They're cool because they glow in the dark and say 'check your head', which would make me one step closer to actually becoming a beastie boy!
