Dress in Blue

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month! Today is Dress in Blue Day! 

We asked everyone we know to wear blue today and I am so touched by how many people participated. Mom and Dad received several pictures and texts today of people showing their support by wearing blue.

Jesse and I both put on our blue bright and early. I am head to toe blue today. My nails, my earrings, my clothes, my socks, my shoes, even my undergarments are blue today! 

This cause has very much so become near and dear to us. Dad was diagnosed Sept 2012 with stage IV colon cancer. We found out it had spread to his liver and he was considered terminal. Dad has undergone so many rounds of chemo fighting for his life. It hasn't always been pretty but he keeps on truckin'. 

We are so glad that Dad has been doing so well lately. After having a major setback in May 2013, he is doing much better. They have found him a new set of meds to keep his side effects at bay most of the time too. 

Lots of life changes have been made but here we all are. Supporting one another and getting Dad the treatment he needs to keep him around for a long, long time!!
