A Celebration!!!
As many of you know, my youngest daughter, Kerith, was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago in January. She had successful surgery and is doing really well -- no thanks to a wild driver on a California freeway yesterday causing her car to tumble three times!! She spent the afternoon in the Emergency Room, but was home last evening and feeling good all things considered!! But the wonderful thing I wanted to share with you today is a video made by the cancer center where she went for her surgery and starring none other than my lovely daughter!! I hope you can find a few minutes to watch it. It is an inspiration for all!

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.

What a beautiful, vibrant woman your daughter is - with such an inspiring story! How proud you must be of your daughter and the daunting journey she had to take.
All the best to her.
She is amazing!
Great to hear she has fought bravely against dreaded cancer and murderous drivers! Good on her for being an inspiration to so many others!
Dear Sylvia, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful video of your lovely daughter.I wish her good health throughout her life.
I am happy for your daughter but sorry about her hassle on the road! She is a really wonderful person, like her mom.
It is such a wonderful story! Although, what an incredible shakeup to have a rollover happen a year to the date of the breast cancer date. As a mom, I can imagine how you must've felt. But, so happy to hear she is OK and what a beautiful young woman! She looks so much like you! Gorgeous.
Very inspiring video. Too bad the accident. Hope she recovers fast!

What can I say Sylvia, you were so right to say that your beautiful daughter is an inspiration, she truly is. I can only imagine the fright you had when you heard about her accident..I think she is very special and someone is definitely looking after her.
Oh Sylvia, that's wonderful. Kerith tu es très belle !
What a wonderful story and such a strong and beautiful woman, Sylvia.
What a beautiful and strong young woman. You must be so proud, Sylvia!
What a beautiful woman your daughter is, Sylvia! To go through what she went through and still come out of it a joyful person is simply incredible. I admire her so much. Good luck and best wishes, Kerith. Aloha from Hawaii!
my goodness, sylvia, she is a beauty and a true bright spirit! SO glad she wasn't seriously hurt yesterday! oh my gosh, that must have been terrifying!
What an awesome story your daughter has to tell. What a beautiful young lady. I know you are so proud of her. Sorry about the car accident.. Bless her heart.. BUT--with her attitude, she can get through ANYTHING... God Bless her--and you, Mom.
Hugs,

I thought I was would cry when I started watching, such a beautiful women and such a terrible experience ... But your daughter's calm, gentle, comforting manner of explaining what she went through, put me at ease. I can never imagine the fear and the disappointment she experienced. But I do the know the joy of her happy ending, having seen it many times in my own nursing career. God Bless this child and her wonderful supportive mother.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter's story Sylvia. That is a wonderful film. Kerith truly is an inspiration to us all.
I'm so happy she is healthy again Sylvia!
What a trooper! Very inspirational. Does she live in the Southern or Northern CA?
BTW, she has your resemblance.
You have a beautiful daughter and she has a wonderful story! I am so happy for you both and I wish her a long and healthy life. Thank you so much for sharing this, Sylvia!
Wow. You put that triple rollover in there almost as a parenthetical phrase. Phew! I am so glad for her and for you that she came out the other side OK. AND, the video is powerful. You have raised a strong young woman, Sylvia.
Sylvia yo must be so proud of this amazing beautiful daughter you have!
What a fantastic example to other patients she is .. I was truly touched by her story and her strength. I just found out recently my older sister died of colon cancer for years ago (complicated story of a family in shambles I am sad to say) she was only 54 and I was too late to reach out to her and connect with her again .. it breaks my heart. But seeing your daughter and her perseverance through this very frightening time is so uplifting .. thank you for posting this : )
