The path.
My Mom took this photo when we were all recently down on the coast. There are tons of trails along the beach, weaving in and out of the forest and right to the edge of the ocean.
I like seeing photos like this of the three of us together. Relates great to that post the other day about each of us being on our own separate journeys even while traveling down the very same path.
Yesterday I got a call from my dermatologist with the results of my skin biopsies. One of the moles they removed was melanoma. Luckily (and this is so the reason for being proactive and having your body checked) it was very, very early and only on the top layer of skin. I have to go back in and they will remove some more of my skin around that area as a precaution - to make sure they got all the cancer that was there with that mole.
So very lucky.
Here's to kind dermatologists, sunscreen and being smart about the sun.
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers as you proactively take care of your health. Such a great pic! The thing about this pic that struck me was look at each of your feet...you are all in step...very neat!!

Ali, thank goodness you had the moles checked. Isn't it funny how meeting that nice person in the garden shop started you on this path of health self discovery? It's always amazing to me how one person can make such a difference in life. Thanks for sharing.

Ali,
Just a quick thank you. Your posts inspired me to get a doctor to take a quick peak at a new mole. The biopsy came back abnormal for me too. Thanks for helping me to stop dragging my feet on taking care of the mom, while I rush aroung taking care of the family. I'm looking forward to the full body check next month to rule out others. Thanks for being the kick in the pants that I needed at that moment. Best of luck to you with your medical challenges these days. You'll be in my thoughts.

So glad you are being proactive on this! My hubby has an ongoing battle with basal cell carcinomas and has a regular check up, removal of moles and suspicious spots, etc. No fun. Most of them are on his head (not much hair up there!). But if you are vigilant, it does not need to disrupt your life.
Hugs to you, my friend!

Thankful you were being proactive about this and that it was in the very early stage. You mean so much to all of the lives you touch in many different ways. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers.
