Livestrong Day!
Livestrong Day has arrived and for the second year the entire Cat Blogosphere has joined in to support the global campaign by going yellow. Too many of our family, friends and furries have been touched by this horrible disease so we unite today to remember those who have lost their battles, celebrate survivorship and commit to working towards a world without cancer!
This year is particularly hard for me because my brother died on March 2, 2011, exactly seven months ago and fourteen months after his struggle with pancreatic cancer began.
This is the final picture taken of my beautiful brother one week before he died when my mum, dad, sister, eldest brother and myself gathered at his hospital in London to be together one more time as a family and say our good-byes.
Last year when I said Livestrong I said Lovestrong also.
Please be sure to Lovestrong
right now all those who are precious in your life, be they two of four legged, because we never know what the future holds!
Many people in our cat community have worked hard for Livestrong Day. Please visit the beautiful Livestrong Slideshow created by the talented Chandra from Life from a Cat's Perspective at the special We Livestrong Today blog, lovingly created by Jan from The Cat's Meow and Ann from Zoolatry to see all our kitties friends in the Cat Blogosphere supporting Livestrong!LIVESTRONG & LOVESTRONG
