Playing the comment game at Michele’s blog, I stumbled across this blog entry. It particularly struck me, and I posted a comment there, which I am posting here as well.
Hi. Michele sent me. I'm glad she did. Great writing.
Your comment, "Are you there God? It's me Megan", together with references to doggie cancer made me put together a couple different thoughts.

Part of this frustration that stayed with me for years has compelled me to start gift it forward a website to raise money for women diagnosed with breast cancer. My friend just died in January and the frustration reared it's ugly head again. I had to do something to help women with this disease. This book is a must read for every girl, even if they still have their mothers...
