I'm just going to go ahead and put it out there. My friend Jennifer might be the bravest person I know. Because she's got this cancer- her self-identified monster inside -that has been trying to scare the life out of her. Trying to steal time with her children. Trying to scratch away at her faith. Crawling into her marriage bed and whispering late at night, "I'm here." But guess what, cancer? You're not going to be here much longer in my friend Jen. Because tomorrow, after three months of chemo, she's having the much-shrunken lump removed. Gone. Good-bye. And in honor of that, I just thought that this brave woman deserved a party. I themed it the "One Tough Chick" celebration and had a big time finding ways to incorporate her favorite color- PINK!- and a few chicks into my invitations and decor (Peep topiaries, anyone?).
We spent the night toasting, and laughing, and writing notes of inspiration to our brave girl. So Jen can be refreshed and can go into surgery tomorrow with her best ammo- the love of her family and friends. Because around here we're kickin' cancer One Tough Chick at a time.
