So, a family friend, Kim - more like family than friend, who moved to Oregon several years ago, has been an amazing support to both me and my Mom during this whole cancer journey. Even being over 2,000 miles away, she finds the time to lend an ear, send a message of hope and support through social media, or a thoughtful package in the mail. There are days when I lose faith in humanity and on those days, it is people like Kim who restore the lost faith.
She recently attended a breast cancer run in Bend, Oregon and she let me know that I was there in spirit and in her thoughts on this day! Thanks Kimmy!!
