The Maple Hill Church of Christ has a breast cancer support group. It was started by a couple of ladies that went through breast cancer and it is open to all women who have or had breast cancer. It meets every third Monday night of the month. I have only been able to attend about five meetings in the last year and I am looking forward to trying be more involved. This month's meeting was the best so far. It was called, "The child within us." The 4 year old classes from our Mother's Day Out program sang a few songs for us ladies and presented us with a small gift of a bookmark they made.
This handsome little boy in the middle is John Derrick and he is MY handsome boy. He was so cute up there singing to us. He was quite excited that night. He got to go to his very first T-ball practice and then he got to sing to "the ladies who have cancer" They sang,
Jesus Loves Me, The Pizza Hut song (that is what he is singing right now) and
The Green Grass Grew All Around. I had my video camera with me and I managed to record the first song but managed not to record the rest of the night. (But that doesn't matter because I haven't figured out how to get stuff off the video camera to my computer yet.)
My wife's sister just had her breasts removed and we were hit hard by the word "cancer."
