We are getting ready to head to Chicago this week. It will be the first visit back with no Leigh. Well, technically the second, if we include the Memorial Service, but even that was all about Leigh. This is about visiting the family. We are all looking forward to the visit, but I also know there will probably be some tough moments in the realization that Leigh is not here to make memories with anymore. But, we live, we grow, and we remember...fondly.
Also, TLC listened to all of those who wanted another viewing of Crazy, Sexy, Cancer! It is going to air on TLC this Wednesday evening (October 24th) at 6pm Central Time. And, even more, Kris Karr is going to be on Oprah today! It's a show about Death and Dying, so I am expecting some heavy discussions, but I know Kris will bring some uplifting things to the show. She talks about here experience on her blog, and you can read that here.
Last, I wanted to share something my daughter wrote for school. Her first writing assessment was last month, and she was told to choose a topic and write about it. This is what she wrote, just as she wrote it:
Cancer
My aunt Liegh has
suffered a serious
deseas for 5 years.
She has suffered
Cancer. And when I
found out I was only
6, so I didn't know the
condition that it put
her in. About 8 months
later she started too
loose her hair. I
had know idea what
was going on.
By the time I understood
what my aunt was, going
threw she was not able
to get out of Bed. The med-
icine and cancer made
her big. And on august, 26, 06
my aunt Liegh past
away. Aunt Liegh I will
keep your memory
alive forever I promise.
I miss you already.
Nough said.
