On every family vacation we go on, our family recites the the Berenstain Bears “The Bears’ Vacation”.  Hoorray, Hoorray we’re on our way, our summer vacation begins today.  I decided to change the first verse on the way to meet the doctors at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance where I will have treatment.  I texted my sisters (I was on the ferry and not driving) and they chimed in with their verses.  Here is the new version:

Me : Hooray, Hooray we’re on our way, our healing journey begins today.

Diana: So here we are. What a wonderful trip. Let’s go see a doctor and do a back flip.

Claire: I’m all set doc, I’m ready to go, now give me a hit to kill this shit.

Chrisitne: And don’t you worry, if you need a smoke, your big sis will share a toke.  But you are going to do quite well and kick that cancer shit to hell.

It could probably use a little work but you get the picture.  I am so fortunate to have such great sisters.  They will never know how much I love them and appreciate them.
