This morning I spoke with a very nice lady who wants, no needs, to get a wig for her friend's daughter, who at 42 has terminal cancer. I don't have enough funding this month for another free wig but I'm doing it anyway. We worked out a really good agreement and everything's going to be fine. Well, I went to her blog and I read everything she's experiencing. She is an amazing woman. My heart goes out to her, her family, and all of you going through this. I cried because I realized how much we take for granted in life. I'm guilty of this like many others. I mean, this woman, wife and mother, is going through so much pain and all she wants is to be able to recognize herself in the mirror every morning.

 

I also cried out of frustration. Women tell me everyday that I'm a hero and God sent me to them. But I'm not a hero because I can't help everyone who needs it. I can't do it alone. I'm frustrated because I know they're are so many women out there that needs my help but I can't reach them. The real heroes are you mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, and friends who are fighting everyday because you know how much you mean to the people in your lives. You are strong and I feel the least I can do is make women like you feel more comfortable during these hard times.

 

You are truly my inspiration...
