| Go Grey in May! |
It's been 1 month today since I lost the Love of My Life to this horrible cancer. This picture made me smile because Glenn loved Betty Boop. He would be happy to know she was advocating for Brain Tumor Awareness.
I had thought about passing out grey ribbons at Glenn's funeral service, or finding a way to make more of a statement about how more needs to be done to find a cure. I was reluctant to because I wanted to honor Glenn by the way he LIVED and the wonderful man that he was, not by the horrific disease that took him from me.
But more does need to be done. May is Brain Tumor Awareness month. During the past seven months since Glenn was diagnosed, I've met too many women that have had the same short journey watching their husbands die. A cure does need to be found. In 40 years, the survival rate has only increased by a few months. Glioblastoma multiforme is the most aggressive brain tumor. As the doctor told us at diagnosis, "survival will be virtually impossible." It's not that he didn't have hope, or that we ever gave up hope, it just is what it is.
In honor of Glenn, I'm encouraging all family and friends to Wear Grey in May, and specifically on May 22nd, Brain Cancer Awareness Day and the 100th Birthday of the American Cancer Society. Go grey in May!
I miss you so much Babe! It's still just....One day at a time.
Linda
