My son Ford has a good buddy from school whose name is Jack.  Jack’s mom was diagnosed with breast cancer last spring.  Jack and Ford started Kindergarten today.  Jack is the oldest of 3.  He is a very polite, handsome little boy who we enjoy having around.  His mom is amazingly positive, and absolutely beautiful.  She keeps an online journal of what she is going through and I don’t know how she does it.

She has already gone through chemotherapy and recently had a double masectomy.  She will start radiation any day now – is unfortunately dealing with insurance issues.  I was in the car today and the local radio station played a song called “Just Stand Up”.  It is a collaboration of several female artists and all of the proceeds go to cancer research.  GREAT song!  I came home to immediately try and download it from itunes to discover it will not be released until tomorrow. 

I spend a lot of time on the computer lately, and sometimes it feels like wasted time.  I know that tomorrow when I download this song, that I am not wasting time and I look forward to doing it.  I hope you will too.

As you know, I am not great at this linking stuff, so I am just going to link to my local radio station – I think it is easiest that way – PLEASE take the time to listen and download this song.
