plan that appeals for
her breast. Be gone.
And all the trouble
my cause in the
future.
As this is the 7th
anniversary of Barbara's
death on July 4, I
loathe the talk of breast
cancer, remember my
raw grief at Barbara's
passing, and can't even
think about losing
Gr. [likely a typo for "Grandma"] right now.
So I hope and pray
that this is the
solution — and will
keep her cancer free.
G.D. in the amazing
hotel in Joplin.
