My father died of brain cancer in 1991. I do not know anyone whose life has not been touched by the loss of a loved one to cancer.

I like sugar, be it candy, this season's pumpkin chocolate chip bars, or wine. Sugar is bad for me. It just sits on my tummy, causing my middle child Esme to ask if we are having a fourth baby. Rude!
