"Your life feels different on you, once you greet death and understand your heart's position. You wear your life like a garment from the mission bundle sale ever after -- lightly because you realize you never paid nothing for it, cherishing because you know you won't ever come by such a bargain again."
~ Louise Erdrich

Livestrong Day
Today is Livestrong Day -- a day recognized around the world to bring awareness of the global cancer crisis. It marks the 14th anniversary of Lance Armstrong’s testicular cancer diagnosis.
While it is appropriate to think about people living with cancer and their families today, I'm also thinking about the important work of oncology nurses. I remember the fantastic nurses who helped my sister Karen years ago when she struggled with leukemia.
