We'll miss you Jessica

Today the blogging world, and the world in general, lost a truly courageous, thoughtful and well-written woman.

"Cancer, baby" author Jessica lost her battle with ovarian cancer earlier today.

If you have a chance, stop at her blog and read a little. Her story, as seen through her archives, is one of a woman who just wanted to have a baby. Instead, she ended up discovering cancer and beginning a battle.

My grandmother died of ovarian cancer when I was in college. It's a horrid disease and in her case, as Jessica's, it ended badly.

It's days like this when I hug Jack just a little bit tighter and be thankful for the health of everyone close to me.

Tomorrow, our family will participate in the Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure" in Peoria, IL. Josh's mom Marilee is a breast cancer survivor and we are so glad she is here with a second chance.

We want her, and grandmas and moms everywhere, to watch their children grow up. So consider donating to breast cancer research to make that possible. You can click HERE to donate and HERE to learn more.
