Note #46

Last Thursday marked 16 years since my breast cancer diagnosis. The phone call I received that Friday afternoon will forever be etched in my memory. A related afternoon, several weeks later, is also memorable. This week's note is written to my friend, Sharon.

Dear Sharon,

16 years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer and you stepped up to support me. I'll never forget the afternoon we spent shopping for wigs. What could have been a traumatic event turned out to be so much fun! I have laughable memories of seeing myself as a redhead and a blonde. We both tried on numerous wigs in a variety of styles and colors. When I think about that day, I do so with a chuckle and a grateful heart.

Thanks for being my friend, your generosity, and always making me laugh.
Love, Jill
