Hi Friends - Angel Greta here!
In 2013 Mom & I had a special button giveaway for
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
It was such a great success we wanted to do it again
Despite my unexpected departure for the Rainbow Bridge
in 2014
we have continued our special giveaway
because I let Mom know that I am always here

How I Became Mom's "Pink" Dog
by Angel Greta
Mom has NEVER liked the color PINK
her favorite colors are green and purple
but...
you may have noticed that I
you may have noticed that I
wore a lot of PINK
Eight years ago something happened
Mom was told she needed a biopsy
Two days before the start of
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Mom was told she had breast cancer
Then not only did she not like PINK
she HATED PINK
Trying to come to terms with the Big C diagnoses
and PINK was in her face everywhere she went.
Surgery was scheduled and followed soon after
She does her wellness check ups every year
so her cancer was caught early
She has a family that loves her and needs her
and she will be here for them
for a long time to come
She has a family that loves her and needs her
and she will be here for them
for a long time to come
Mom realized that during
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
she can let people know that
early detection saves lives
so she decided
to embrace the color "PINK"
and that, my friends
is how I became Mom's "Pink" dog.

Congratulations on eight years for your mom, angel Greta! This is a wonderful give-away that she does every year.

We will make sure SHE puts on the button!
ReplyDeleteWe treasure our pin and our mom wears it proudly.
ReplyDeleteThose pins are a great way to show support for Breast Cancer awareness. Our Oma had that and our mom is very good about doing her regular checkups.
ReplyDeleteHow blessed you are to be a survivor. Thankfully none in our family have suffered with this, although other cancers have been all too common within family and dear friends ... we support all who fight against "the C's".
ReplyDeleteYou do good works, even from the Rainbow Bridge, Angel Gretta. We are very happy your Mom is a survivor. Xox Lucy and Xena
ReplyDeleteI love my button. Congratulations on 8 years. Thanks for being a great reminder to schedule my mammogram.
ReplyDeleteWow, congrats to your mom for being C-free for so many years! That's pawsome. We're not huge fans of pink either so we send our best blue 💙instead.
ReplyDeleteThat's some great advice, angel Greta! Our auntie Kay is a BC survivor, and always urges the ladies in the family to get those "puppies" checked out!
ReplyDeleteI am so very happy for your mom, Angel Greta. I follow the early detection rules too because my mom died of breast cancer, back before so many advances were made. I am just so thrilled that your mom is doing so well.
ReplyDeleteI received a button in a past year (which I wear proudly) so I will let others get these limited ones.
Dat are so pawesome and congrats to your Momma for being 8 years cancer free!! We still has our button and we cherish it :)
