Raw October — Day 8 (Magic of Music)

Raw October: raising breast cancer awareness — one fact, figure, feeling, and photograph at a time.

This boy was 3 years old when I was diagnosed. He shaved my head; told me my bald head, cap, hospital mask, and IV pole made me look like an alien; and revealed just recently that he has no real memory of breast cancer. This boy is now 11 years old, and I am so very thankful that I am alive to witness the magic of his music.

    So, wonderful. And, what a musician!!!! My Danny is also taking piano while Drew is taking guitar. They don’t like it as much as sports but I do not get too many complaints!

    Go Joey!
