Being an Ovarian, Uterine, and Endometrial cancer survivor since 2013 has taught me so much over the years. I have really learned to have patience and love what life challenges have brought me thus far. When people see me I don't want them so be so fixed on my walker or the slow stride that exists or the stumbling that may occur from overusing my legs. I want the world to see my smile and where GOD has brought me thus far. Everyday, I have pain. Most people don't understand and think a quick fix will is the magic. Most people forget how active I was and how Beachbody was my best stress reliever. I won't complain that the pain is unbearable, but I will tell you that it reminds me of how precious life is and how quick we are to forget. My mom passed away from Colon cancer in 2014. What I remember most about my mother is the strength that she showed me. Her telling me about my strengths. No matter how much pain she was in on a daily basis. She endured. My mother's name was "Brenda". She was indeed a strong woman. This is the reason my team will always be called, "Brenda's Fluttering Butterflies". It represents grandmother (Brenda) and granddaughter (Brenda) leading the way from past to present. It represents how the body changes as it fights our enemy. It tells how no matter how much we stronger every survivor no matter what color of ribbon defines us are all beautiful and strong. I LOVE YOU MY SISTERS AND BROTHER......FROM ACROSS THE FLOWING COLORS OF RIBBONS. STAY STRONG. Davetta-2020
