Nana's fight

This is my Aunt Nannette, my Dad's youngest sister...isnt she beautiful? She is a fighter of breast cancer.

This is her at her last radiation treatment. She has fought breast cancer and survived-the whole time with a smile on her face. The only other person I have ever seen go through such a trial and never let her get her down is my Mom. They remind me alot of one another. Strong. Graceful. Timeless.
So what to do when you are finally done beating cancer's toushee? You throw a surprise party of course! It was pulled off by my cousins (her kids) and they did a fabulous job. She had no clue and that was the best part. She was surrounded by people who love her and wanted to help in celebrating her victory.

The girls hiding getting ready to surpirse Nana. Maya was mad at Josh cause she thought he would ruin the suprise! Love that face!!

 

Ben got her out of the house and brought her home to a dark house full of people. ") . They were a little late because Aunt Nannette kept on talking to people. Yep. She is REALLY that nice.

 We had some scrapbook pages to write a note on. This is sweet Sofia's note to Nana.

 The "motto" of the evening....

Jenny made her Mom a scrapbook of ther journey...It was pretty awesome.

 The girls gave Nana a cashmere scarf for her to wear so her head would not get cold! Hehe. It was shades of pink ( of course) and they made her cards. They were SO excited to give it to her. I was one proud mama.

We know of trials in our family. We know of heartache, of loss, of disappointment. But we also know of the love of a Father in Heaven who knows what were going through each individually and will NOT, not ever leave us alone.  It was a wonderful evening full of alot of tears, alot of laughs and of course, alot of food and fun!
