With my mbc diagnosis last year, it is still uppermost in my mind but as it was around my eldest son's high school graduation my focus was on him and his upcoming HSC. It all then came in waves.
My hope for you is that you create beautiful new memories this Christmas and your current one's fade.
Here's to a happy joyous Christmas and New Year Kath. x
