My name is Laurie McCloud Bright. I am 44 years old and have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. This is my story.... Women are Angels, and when someone breaks our wings we simply continue to fly.....on a broomstick.....we are flexible like that.

SO FAR SO GOOD!

My heart hurts......
Big challenges they say can either bring you closer together or tear you apart and that seems to be what happens sometimes with a cancer diagnosis. It's not easy on anyone in a family. And now I am almost divorced. My heart is heavy. I believe I am still in the grieving stage. I have moved back to my old house and share my daughter 50% of the time with her dad. It's not ideal, but it will have to work. I am angry too. How can someone give up on you when you need them most? I am not saying that I didn't have my issues and I didn't struggle with trying to be a good wife. There were times when I was a downright shitty wife. I let depression consume me and tried to sweep it all away under a rug where no one could see it and I made MANY mistakes. I own those mistakes in this present day. But it still doesn't hurt any less. But I want to move forward and hopefully Father Time is on my side. Each day I hope the pain is less, the laughter is more and the love for my children is out of this world. I know I will be ok, but the band-aid gets ripped off daily. Maybe one day there will be just a tiny scar that Mederma can fix! Love until your heart is bursting. Even yourself.
